characters for "ochi"

im making a painting for a friend (for valentine's day), she studies japanese and some of his friends give her the "ochi" nickname so i wanna add a big-grounge-rock´n-style ochi on the paint i think that ochi is like this おち but what if im wrong?!! XD plz help plzzz

"Ochi" can be written as
おち
オチ　(in Katakana)
or
越智
The bottom one is often used for a surname.

Charliedpm,

I suggest writing it in katakana (オチ) as your first choice. Kanji would just look weird.

May I ask why she got that nickname? I would write it in katakana, as suggested by Dave in Saitama, but *just in case* she got it from a well-known Japanese person with that family name or something like that, for example, THEN it would make sense to find out how THAT person's name is written, and use that :)

mmm i think that ochi means strawberry or something like that, cuz she is so sweet XD (a friend of her told me that), but you are the experts T-T im a noob, but i can help you whit your spanish XD

"Strawberry" in Japanese is "ichigo," though...

by the way thanks for the help..
Maybe i heard wrong T-T but de fact is that all of his best friends call her ochi o.O ochi means?..

Charliedpm,

ochi means?..

Amongst other things, the punchline of a joke.

The problem is that, other than the "punchline of a joke" as given above, "ochi" by itself doesn't really mean anything in Japanese, even though there are family names and place names... that's why I thought it *could* have been taken from another Japanese name....

Hearing that you can speak Spanish, I thought that you possibly might have confused "chi" and "shi" sounds, but if it was "oishii," then it means "tasty" (not "sweet") so you wouldn't really want that as a nickname either...

mmm i have asked again XD and ochi its like a local joke, it comes from ichigo,, dont ask XD
