T-shirts with the name “Joshua” written in kanji.

In Japanese, foreigners’ names are usually not written in kanji, but rather often presented in katakana, one of Japan’s alphabets. When the name Joshua is written in katakana, it appears like this: ジョシュア (JO-SYU-A) We search for kanji that can be read the same way, and using those phonetic characters, we create a name in kanji. This time we created the following name in Kanji: 序主愛 序 can be read as “JO,” and means “order” or “introduction.” 主 can be read as “SYU,” and means “the master” or “the owner.” 愛 can be read as “A,” and means ”Love.” When we combine the kanji 序 + 主 + 愛 Joshua’s name in kanji (序主愛) is then complete. It’s possible that Japanese people won’t recognise the phonetic reading of 序主愛 (Joshua’s kanji) right away, but when presented together with furigana (the katakana pronunciation), they will surely understand.
