I don't know Japanese, but if the article Katakana in the English Wikipedia is correct, then ジョアン is probably a good transcription, as in ジョアン・ミロ.

Hi Amir,
Thank you for clarification! That helps us very much. And sorry for making the confusion. /dʒ/ and /ʒ/ are always mixed-up in Japanese...
Best, Whym

J is /ʒ/ - not like 'g' in George, but like 's' in pleasure. Look at the interwiki links for the article Joan Miró in Wikipedia - Bulgarian, Russian and Georgian are transliterated correctly; Persian and Greek are transliterated incorrectly...

Hi,
I assume she was asking about the first consonant in his given name, 'Joan', not his family name. Is it /ʒ/, like 'g' in George (as an English name), or something different?
Best, Whym

It's a hard G as the g you get in the words "goat" or "goose", hope it helps.

Hi!
What is his name's pronunciation? Specially the first consonant: G in George (as English name) or like H or F? Need to know for transliteration.
Cheers,
