Questions about Star in Japanese

How do you write Star in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Star?

Our top pick is 寿太 (Suta). 寿 means “long life” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 澄太 (Suta) and 日太 (Suta).

Is 寿太 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 寿太 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Hisata rather than Suta. As a spelling of Star, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 寿太?

寿太 has 11 strokes in total (寿: 7, 太: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 寿太 as a tattoo?

Each character in 寿太 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 “Star”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (スター) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
