How to write Gustavo in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Gustavo becomes グスタボ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| グ | gu | |
| ス | su | |
| タ | ta | |
| ボ | bo |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example グスタボ・スミス for Gustavo Smith.
