Takahashi Name Please

[leon]

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me.

I am looking for the Takahasi name plate/sticker/or anything that has the Japanese Takahasi name.

All I want is Takahasi spelt in Japanese, so I can copy it and use it to make a sticker for my scopes.

Thanks in advance.

Leon :thumbsup:

They are using a very stylised font, the text of which is:
タカハシ
I don't know if there is a freely available typeface for it.

I haven't seen the name in Japanese characters before. Interesting. They've used "katakana" characters instead of "hiragana" or "kanji". Usually they use katakana for writing English (or other non-Japanese) words borrowed and incorporated into their language - eg "hambaaga" is their borrowed word for hamburger and it would be written in katakana. Traditional Japanese words would be written with completely different characters in hiragana or kanji, but sometimes they use katakana characters to make even traditional Japanese words look cooler. Maybe that's the case here, because Takahashi is almost certainly a Japanese name.

You can always used the Google language tools to translate between languages. Not sure about proper words like Takahashi though.

Hey Troy,

wow, lots of info there. How come you know so much about Japanese?

PS:- Not intended to be a rude question, and if you are Japanese - well, that would explain it :P :thumbsup:

This may be a silly question Leon but didn't your Tak scope come with it's own Takahashi emblem on it?
Or did you want to stick them on other scopes ?

It's quintessentially Japanese...

[troypiggo]

Ha. No, I'm not Japanese. But I grew up on the Gold Coast, and with all of the Japanese tourism there back when I was at high school, I did 5 years of it at school, and another year at Uni as an elective during my Engineering Degree. Been to Japan a couple of times, too. Fantastic country and people.



It certainly is :)

[Omaroo]

Yep. I lived in Japan for a couple of years, and while it didn't seem to be common, as such, you certainly hear it often. My Japanese language teacher was called Takahashi - how's that for coincidence? :)

[troypiggo]

Hontoo desu-ka? Ii desu-ne. ;)

それは長い時間以来、私は話されているすべての日本語されてい る.

Loose translation: "Geez it's been a while.... " LOL! There days I say "Iie, wakarimasen!" far too often.

[troypiggo]

Ha. Very good. :)

[leon]

Thank You to all that have responded, and to your question Andrew, yes it dose, but I need this for something different.
