How to write Kane in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Kane becomes ケイン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ケ | ke | |
| イ | i | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ケイン・スミス for Kane Smith.
