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