translation on black belt ?

[opr194594]

Can anyone translate the writing on this black belt for me?

I am curious about embroidery on black belts. Are there customs or traditions on what to embroidery on their belt? Do's and don't rules for messages? Are rules (?) same for all styles vary by style or dojo or sensi or individual?

Japanese or ones local language?

Since I can't read Japanese I guess it really doesn't matter. But I am curious.

It looks to ignorant me that one is Kanji and the other is not, Katakana maybe? someone told me personal name are never written in Kanji but Katakana instead?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
