Katakana is a syllable alphabet, therefore there are no single consonants in romaji words transliterated from it besides "n".

Esdeath = エスデス, e-su-de-su. Here is a handy chart. With hiragana it's basically the same story, but the symbols are different. If I remember correctly, katakana is more commonly used for transliterating foreign words.
