there are actually three ways of writing in Japan but they all conbine to make sentences:

Kanji

Hiragana

katakana

kanji is ideographs of Chinese characters

then there is Kana, hiragana and katakana fall under that.

they all look different

take the word I or me ( watashi ) in...

kanji ( dirrived from Chinese symbols)

Hiragana

わたし

Katakana

ワタシ

Most Japanese sentences (like "the cat sat on the mat") contain both kanji and hiragana. Kanji is used for nouns (words like "cat" or "mat") and the stems of verbs (words like "sat"), and hiragana for the endings of verbs and for grammatical particles (small, common words such as the Japanese equivalents of the English "on" and "to"). Foreign borrowings are normally spelled in katakana.

What does Zachary mean in Japan?

In Japan, the name Zachary (ザカリー or ザッカリー) does not have a specific meaning as it is a foreign name. However, it may be phonetically adapted to fit Japanese pronunciation and writing systems. The name Zachary has Hebrew origins, meaning "the Lord has remembered," but this meaning is not commonly associated with the name in Japan.
