I'm not completely sure if this is what you meant by your question, but Chinese names are written in Japanese with the same characters that are used in Chinese. You'd have to know the Chinese or Korean name, and know the meaning of the characters in order to write them like that. Like, my Chinese name is Hang Liya, and that's how I'd write it if I were using Japanese too, although I have no idea how it would be pronounced. But I have seen Chinese names like Leslie Cheng written in katakana, with kanji next to it before, too...
