How would my Gaelic (Irish) surname translate to Japanese?

Question

I'm just curious. My last name translated from Irish to English as "Dark Hero" or "Dark-Haired Champion."

How would that translate to Japanese? Playing around with a couple of translator programs, I came up with "Daku Yuushi". I'm curious if that would be a legitimate translation or would those two words not be used together? Is there a more appropriate translation? How would I find the ideograph(s) for these words?

Answer 1

In Japanese, Katakana characters are used to express foreign words.

"daku" or "da-ku" is a romanized form of ダーク = dark.
ダーク・ヒーロー(da-ku hi-ro-), written in Katakana, is most appropriate.

勇士(yuushi) means brave man/hero, but ダーク勇士 daku yuushi looks odd somehow.
闇の勇士(yami no yuushi) or 闇の英雄(yami no eiyuu) is also appropriate.
>> 闇の(yami no) = dark ; 英雄(eiyuu) =hero

Dark-Haired Champion can be ダークヘア・チャンピオン (da-ku hea chanpion), written in Katakana, is appropriate.

黒髪のチャンピオン(kurokami no chanpion) is also appropriate.
>> 黒髪の(kurokami no) = dark-haired
