It's called "Romaji", and is a standardized transliteration of Japanese characters into English letters. こんにちは = kon'nichiwa (Good day). Those are hiragana characters. There are also katakana characters, and the more complex kanji characters, based on and similar to Chinese characters.

We told you this Japanese stuff was tricky!
 
天使 tenshi
"Angel" in kanji characters:
天 ten: heavens, sky
使 shi: envoy, ambassador, messenger

(In hiragana "tenshi" would be written てんし.)
