Consider picking up a Japanese dictionary at the closest bookstore, and find a
term that might match the characters' personality-or, consider the opposite:
find a word that would completely contradict the attitude of the character (for
example, a girl with a typically feminine name could be a complete tomboy. Or,
as in Kiki's Delivery Service,
"Tonbo/Tombo" meant "dragonfly", I believe, and the
character was fascinated by aviation). However, if there is a character who
isn't of Japanese origin, it may seem a bit odd to give them a Japanese name
(just my opinion, though). I wish you the best of luck with the comic creating
process!

You can search names in Google, that'll help too. E.g - "Japanese
Names." There are plenty of websites that have a whole list of names for
both gender. That's what helps me in choosing a name for my characters.
Go to BabyNames dot com and BabyNamesWorld -personally I prefer the
latter. It's a good source for International names. Consider relating your
character's personalities with their name, or name them as how they symbolize in
your mind. Hope this could help Good
Luck!
hi to all, i need your help beacuse i'm kinda short in naming my charaters in japanese names. please i need your help!
What kind of characters? What are their personalities & what do they look like?
i have a japanese dictionary also if you need help
Or better (and more seriously) yet, look up random famous Japanese people and take the surname of one and pair it up with the first name of another.
is that so?
thnx for help
this would take me time to begin with my story
I think..you should tell us more about the personality / characters and well yeha..you know what I mean ^^
So we can help you with the names ^^
