if you don't know japanese then the best you can do is do kind of an abstract thing that ends up looking like animu / aka the western knock off (im looking at you shadman)
pic related is your best bet for the knock off, creating an abstraction that reads as anime

animu is more like a weird off product from how the japanese use kana hiragana and kanji
They draw anime like they write their language, their strokes have a beginning middle and end . While in english ABCDEFGH can all be written without changing any stroke thickness and you won't lose any meaning.

look at japanese characters and study, notice how most can be used as like the bangs of an anime chars hair
ア ハ
some look like mouths
ひ へ っ
some like eyes
の

and so on and so forth

黄金比率アニメ
golden proportion pentagram method anime face

lemme know if staring at it while drawing an anime face (especially if you dont draw anime normally) helps you out

to easily get a ready to use golden proportion, draw a pentagram and use the inner part of the pentagon and one side of the triangle as your a and b respectively. grab another sheet of paper and mark those lengths down, then you can use a,b and a+b for pleasing proportions. experiment with different size pentagrams in unison with another, which will yield small distances and large distances that are in the golden ratio.
