Frequently Asked Questions

Are these real Japanese names?

The parts are real and common: 16 popular given names × 16 frequent Japanese surnames, 256 plausible full names. Any specific combination may or may not belong to a real person, the pairing is random.

Do these copy anime characters?

No, the banks use ordinary Japanese names, not distinctive character names from existing series, so your OC won't accidentally be 'that character'.

Can I use these for my manga or fanfiction?

Yes, generate freely. If a name lands on a famous real person, just roll again.
