How to write Doug in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Doug becomes ダグ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ダ | da | |
| グ | gu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ダグ・スミス for Doug Smith.
