Do you constantly want to identify the subject by the pronoun "his?" Have you tried this yourself yet?

Ok, I'm sorry but if you open any first year Japanese book it should tell you exactly how to do this. I get the feeling you simply don't want to do your homework or something.

Is this for a tattoo or something?

That'd be the weirdest tattoo ever...

I'm not sure how to say his, so I'll do the rest though.

His name is *Name*
[his]no namae wa _____.
*Name* is *Age* years old.
____ is #sai desu.
*Name* is from *Country*
_____ wa ____kokujin.
He lives in / at *place*
______ wa (place) de sunde imasu.
He is Interesting
_______ wa omoshiroi desu.

Were these examples copied off the book, too ? No body can spontaneously regress that much in only two months.

(1) I presume you mean this as a stand in for things like beikokujin, and eikokujin but really I think amerikajin and igirisujin are more common and others like furansujin don't have this form at all. chuukokujin/kankokujin would fit in there nicely, of course.

(2) This verb should take the particle ni, not de.

* wa * desu

this is more like * is *. It works for the meaning, but if you want to be specific, a closer translation would be "kare no namae wa * desu," his name is *.

Kare wa * kara kimashita Kuru

get rid of the red part, since you already have a conjugation of kuru, "kimashita" (polite past tense). This sentence is like "he came from *," You could also say "he is American, British, etc" using the structure nekojita mentioned.

Kare wa * ni sundeimasu.
Kare wa omoroshiroi desu.

good
