Zato (za-tO)

Here we offer authentic Japanese Tattoo designs of the name Zato by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase.

Names are translated to Japanese by how they are pronounced, not by how they are spelled. So these designs are only correct when Zato is pronounced za-tO. That is, the name Zato, when pronounced za-tO, in Japanese katakana is ザトー with the romaji zato-.

While the above katakana is the standard way that names are translated to Japanese, we also offer Zato in hiragana which may be preferred when a more feminine tattoo design of Zato is wanted. Zato in hiragana is ざとう and has the romaji zatou.

If you pronounce Zato differently then often the Japanese translation will be different. Please let us know the pronunciation you use and we will add it.
