How to write Alonzo in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Alonzo becomes アロンゾ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| ロ | ro | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ゾ | zo |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アロンゾ・スミス for Alonzo Smith.
