Questions about Wally in Japanese

How do you write Wally in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Wally?

Our top pick is 緒里 (Ori). 緒 means “bond” and 里 means “hometown”. Other good options are 穂里 (Ori) and 緒理 (Ori).

Is 緒里 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 緒里?

緒里 has 21 strokes in total (緒: 14, 里: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 緒里 as a tattoo?

Each character in 緒里 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 “Wally”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウォリー) 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.
