How the japanese name generator works
Each click pairs a random Japanese given name with a random family name. The name is shown in kanji written family-name-first (the traditional Japanese order), followed by the romaji reading given-name-first (the Western order you'd use in English). Use them for anime original characters, stories, and games.
