Questions about Tanu in Japanese

How do you write Tanu in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Tanu?

Our top pick is 多野 (Tano). 多 means “many” and 野 means “field”. Other good options are 多能 (Tano) and 田野 (Tano).

Is 多野 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 多野 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

How many strokes is 多野?

多野 has 17 strokes in total (多: 6, 野: 11). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 多野 as a tattoo?

Each character in 多野 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 “Tanu”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (タヌ) 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.
