"Tsu" can be rendered as "Tu" (and in fact is rendered as such in nihon-shiki, afaik)
"Fu" - Drop the u
"Ru" can be rendered as L.
To stress the pronounciation, double the f and add an e at the end.
There, you have "Tuffle".
Of course it would have to be too-ful (Tufel), not Tuffle. Tuffle would be Tafuru in Japanese.
