# Kizunama (KIZUNAMA / 絆名)

Kizunama is a free static web tool that turns a foreign given name into a Japanese presentation:
Katakana sound spelling, phonetic ateji Kanji choices, a seimei handan stroke-count reading,
and a decorative Hanko seal preview. No account, no AI generation of names.

## Locales

- Italian (default): https://kizunama.com/
- English: https://kizunama.com/en/

## What it is not

Results are playful phonetic ateji (当て字), not real Japanese personal names and not suitable
for koseki registration or as an official jitsuin seal.

## Data sources

- Kanji readings, stroke counts, and meanings: KANJIDIC2
- Conventional foreign-name Katakana spellings: ENAMDICT / JMnedict
- Licence: Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group (EDRDG)
