Now we have native board members disagreeing. It's just interesting, and a helpful reminder that languages are not static.
I believe that having your name in kanji is fun and interesting to you.
I want you to enjoy Japanese language, and as a result, be interested in Japan.
I’m sure that if you have your name with kanji, you would feel familiarity with Japan.
Just enjoy!


P.S.
I don’t believe that’s what SashiMister meant.
He mentioned about sunowaka’s mistake, and was just joking.
Don’t take that picture so seriously.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
