How to write Chris in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Chris becomes クリス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ク | ku | |
| リ | ri | |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example クリス・スミス for Chris Smith.
