Questions about Shon in Japanese

How do you write Shon in Japanese?

Shon is written ション in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Shon would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Shon?

Our top pick is 祥 (Shou). 祥 means “good omen”. Other good options are 渚 (Sho) and 晶 (Shou).

Is 祥 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 祥 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Shou, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Shon, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 祥?

祥 has 10 strokes. That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 祥 as a tattoo?

Each character in 祥 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Shon”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ション) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
