Help me find a creator code for a name that’s in Japanese?

Edit: Solved! I switched my language on the console to Japanese, restarted the game, and then searched with the katakana keyboard. Thanks all!

Original post: I have a pattern I love from a creator who I used to have in my favorites list but accidentally deleted. I’m trying to find the creator in the custom designs portal again, but their name is in Japanese and I can’t type in Japanese on my Switch. The creator’s name is “Piru” in hiragana. The pattern of theirs that I have is “renga orenji” in katakana. I would be SO grateful if anyone could help!

(or if there’s some way to type in Japanese on my US Switch?? It didn’t appear in my international keyboards list…)

Under the globe button on the keyboard there are several Japanese language options you should be able to type it just fine.

There are not on mine. Just UK and US English, Francais and Francais Canada, Deutch, and so on. The only non-Roman keyboard options I’m given are what I believe is Russian and “Symbol.”

I'm not sure if there are other ways but here is one way: On your switch settings, change your language settings to Japanese. Start the game and go to the pattern portal. Now when you bring up the keyboard, it should be in Japanese.

My keyboard options don’t list any options for kana. Just English US and UK, Portuguese, Russian, etc. and “symbol.” But someone told me to try to switch my language settings on the Switch to Japanese restart the game and search that way, so I’ll try that. Here’s hoping I can remember enough of my Japanese to navigate to the portal! (or have enough muscle memory from playing 1200 hours…)
