Questions about Yung in Japanese

How do you write Yung in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Yung?

Our top pick is 弥久 (Yaku). 弥 means “ever more” and 久 means “everlasting”. Other good options are 弥空 (Yaku) and 弥紅 (Yaku).

Is 弥久 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 弥久?

弥久 has 11 strokes in total (弥: 8, 久: 3). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 弥久 as a tattoo?

Each character in 弥久 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 “Yung”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ヤング) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
