46 in hiragana, 71 if you include modified symbols (with a " or circle to change the consonant sound). The same in katakana. Plus, I believe they use about 1800 kanji (symbols from Chinese). So, if you don't include combined characters (such as "shi+yo=sho") I would say there are about 1950 characters total in Japanese.

What is the name for the Japanese alphabet?
The Japanese alphabet is usually referred to as kana, specifically hiragana and katakana. While the Hiragana consists of 48 syllables, it is a phonetic alphabet where each alphabetic combination represents just a single sound. Thus any Japanese word can be written in a way that can be read without having to remember how the word is pronounced. So the Japanese kana are much simpler, the way something is written is the way it sounds. There is also Kanji, a Japanese system of writing based on borrowed or slightly modified Chinese characters.

Well, Romaji is the Japanese language converted into a Romanized alphabet. Therefore we still need to translate from English into Japanese using an online translator (although they're not reliable for more than one word translations) or copying Japanese text from somewhere. You can then simply paste the text whether it be in kanji (Chinese characters) or hiragana (Japanese characters) onto a site such as http://romaji.org/ and it will convert it into the roman alphabet.
