Question 1

Are these names real Japanese names?

Accepted Answer

They are original creations in a Japanese naming style, with meanings explained in the result. They read naturally but are not drawn from census lists, which keeps them unique to your character.

Question 2

Can I base a name on my own name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the optional based-on field and the generator will echo the sound or meaning of your real name loosely, without copying it exactly — a common trick for self-insert or tribute characters.

Question 3

What is the meaning field for?

Accepted Answer

The meaning explains the idea behind the name, such as the kanji concept it evokes. Use it to check that the name matches your character’s personality, arc, or foreshadowing.

Question 4

Will names match a specific series style?

Accepted Answer

The generator creates in a general anime style rather than imitating a specific series, which keeps every name original and safe for fan projects that must not copy existing characters.
