James,

The site below suggests
Ž¡‰b•Žç

with the "explanation": Intelligent warrior-king, protecting all who are under your rule.

It would probably leave most Japanese natives scratching their heads, but if you like it...

If you want real "authentic" Japanese where a real Japanese person can read it, then use Katakana which is based on phonetics.

Otherwise as mentioned, if you just want some Kanji thrown together that becomes "James" that otherwise would make a Japanese person confused because of the different readings then thats fine too.
