Japanese names have a rich structure: the family name (myoji) comes first in Japan, followed by the given name (namae). In international contexts the order is often reversed. Given names are typically written in kanji with meaning-laden readings — the same characters can be read in multiple ways, making Japanese names highly personal and meaningful.
This generator produces common Japanese first names and well-known family names, letting you choose gender and name order, making it ideal for fiction writing, game characters, and language learning.
