kanji

Can someone please tell me which kanji I should use for Kawasaki?

This is the kanji used in the name of the city to the south of Tokyo:

川崎 , although that is not the only way to write Kawasaki. Is it someone's family name, or a place name you are after? The motorcycle brand?

Yes I saw that there were quite a few - actually we were studying name kanji & my students got sidetracked to the motor cycle Kawasaki, so that's the one I'm after please!

It's 川崎 alright :)

Kawasaki motorcycles brand name is always written either "Kawasaki" (in "romaji," romanized writing) in its logo, or カワサキ (in katakana, phonetic letters), but it *originates* from the Kawasaki corporate group, headed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries (its shareholder), whose name uses 川崎 in it.

I need some help on how to write kawasaki in kanji using it as someone`s family name.

Danmors,

There are a few different way to write the family name "Kawasaki," so you need to know how THAT person's name is written...

Here is a list of the different kanji for names ((s) surnames, (p) place names, etc) for Kawasaki.
