Starting learning Japanese
Find your Japanese name
Enter your English name and you should be able to find your Japanese name in Furigana and often Kanji as well. You can then copy it to the Japanese font app and create images with your Japanese name.
Turn Japanese Into Romanisation
This resource allows you to convert text from Japanese into different systems. The systems available are Katakana, Hiragana, Hepburn, Hepburn Traditional, Kunrei, Nihon and Wapuro. The output text should keep the same formatting and paragraphing as the input text.
