No, unfortunately your name will not be in kanji on Japanese documents, unless you choose to register the kanji version as an official alias... And even then, official documents do not allow the use of an alias so you will be required to use either the katakana version or alphabet version.

Unless you really are naturalized, the kanji version will always remain an alias.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
