For context, I had the idea of making an artistic representation of the phrase as a symbolic reminder (partly inspired by Jeffreyssai’s symbols ). So ideally I’d use as dense a representation as possible.
You could always just go with 強 - it just represents “strength” (in Chinese / Japanese) but if you’re looking for a symbolic reminder it should be sufficient, and a single Kanji is often used for symbolic purposes.
強くなりたい is how it is written in Japanese.
Is there a way that uses fewer characters? (Presumably more complex ones). Apologies for my lack of knowledge.
No. These are verb endings and can’t be written as Kanji. (Well, you could use 強く成りたい, but that’s weird and doesn’t buy you anything.)
Edit: Maybe use a different expression? 一生懸命 (i’shou kenmei) is closely related and denser.
Thanks. :)
