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