And, by the way, you cannot change your name to one with kanji unless your original name included them (Chinese, etc). Even if you do take the Japanese family name, it will be registered in katakana. You can register an official alias using the kanji, but you cannot have a kanji name unless you naturalize.
そう？特別扱いを望んでるのなら帰化しなきゃいいので は？ そっちの方が私にとって理解しがたいのですよ。

Sorry, but you are correct. I will not be naturalized and will only take my wifes name while still remaining a British citizen. Japanese law is very strict on naturalization and even Japanese citizens are not allowed dual nationality.
My British passport will reflect the change in my name in the Roman alphabet although my name on official Japanese documents will be in Katakana with a Kanji family name
