Che Guevara
Latin American / Cuban Revolutionary
切格瓦拉 is the name “Che Guevara,” as written (transliterated) in Mandarin Chinese.
Once revered by Chinese people as a Socialist rebel, he's now just a historical figure that school children briefly learn about in China.
切格瓦拉 is because China used to be a truly-Communist/Socialist nation, and thus, other Communists and Socialists were heroes.
In modern China, with its free-market economy, those former heroes fade a little.
We are not offering the “Che” character alone, as few would associate it with Che Guevara, so you need the full name to be clear (minus Ernesto, which is his real first name).
Ernesto
埃內斯托 is the transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the Latin / Spanish name Ernesto.
Ernesto
エルネスト is the name Ernesto in Japanese.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Guevara
This is the Spanish family name, Guevara.
Probably the most famous person to have this family name is Ernesto “Che” Guevara, the Cuban / Latin American revolutionary.
