How it works
Type in a name and click generate. If you want a random name, just leave the input field blank.
Japanese name generator
This generator assembles names from its own dataset for creative inspiration. A generated combination can resemble a Japanese personal name, but its spelling and meaning are not checked against a name dictionary. If you are naming a real person or need an accurate cultural or historical name, verify the name, reading, and chosen kanji with an authoritative source or a fluent speaker.
For a story character, decide whether you need a given name, a family name, or both, then check that your final combination fits the character’s setting. A name’s meaning depends on its written characters, so a romanized result alone does not establish one. You can also browse the anime name generator for a clearly fictional style or the samurai name generator for a character with that role.
