Japan Generator Name

Japan Generator Name is a free Japanese name generator that helps you create culturally accurate names using real kanji, romaji pronunciations, and straightforward English meanings.

Start by choosing your name type—full name, first name only, or last name only. Then filter by gender (all, male, female, or unisex) and how many kanji characters you want (1, 2, 3, or any) to match the naming style you’re aiming for.

To make results fit the story or inspiration behind the name, use curated meaning tags like nature, strength, beauty, wisdom, hope, light, courage, peace, or purity. Each generated option includes the kanji, its romaji reading, and an English meaning so you can avoid mismatched or confusing translations.

Save favorites to a shortlist, export your list, and refine your filters until you find names that feel right for anime, games, profiles, or baby naming inspiration.
