Japanese began to absorb foreign words from the West early in the middle of 16th century. These foreign Words mainly referred to the vocabulary which were absorbed from European and American English. After foreign words were absorbed into Japanese, which brought much confasion, some were written in Chinese, some in Hiragana and some in Katakana. Until after World War Ⅱ, the writing of foreign words in Japanese were uniformed as Katakana. National Language Consideration Committee had made rules about the transformation from letter to Katakana.
