I set up a yugengaisha last year and my company stamp has romaji
(English letters) since I didn't want the company name to be in

Purchased via hankoya.com, they have a good deal for a set of all three
hanko, the jitsuin, the bank hanko, and the square hanko.  They also can
fax you a preview of how the design for approval.

You can check out Gaijin Pot for more information on how to set yourself
up for business.
