.JP Domain Syntax Rules Japan FAQ - Is it necessary that all registration information is written with Japanese characters?
- Most of the information required upon registration must be written with Japanese characters, though there are certain items which may be in alphabet. For example, if the legal name of a registrant contains alphabet, the data item for the registrant name may be filled in with alphabet. Please consult with your Registrar for further details.
- Is there a limit in the number of characters for a General-Use JP Domain Name?
- A General-Use JP domain name containing Kanji, Hiragana, and/or Katakana must consist of one to fifteen (1~15) characters, excluding ".JP" suffix. The number of characters in an ASCII JP domain name must be from three to sixty-three (3-63).
* Please note that if ASCII, Kanji, Hiragana and/or Katakana characters coexist in a same string of a General-Use JP domain name, each character will be counted as one, whether or not it is of double byte code or single byte code.
