 Okay, I can understand why folks are interested in Japanese entertainment... but not why they'd want a Nihonjin name?
   
 Maybe if I didn't have a Japanese name it would make sense.

											|

													Ever wonder what your real Japanese name was?
 
well you can get your japanese name from the Name Generator!!
http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/969/ 
Mine was:
 
�H�{ Akimoto (autumn book) �|�� Yumi (beautiful bow, as in bow and arrow)...LOL
 
remember put in your surname first! 
 
Not entirely correct as I did a search
 
of Yamada Takayuki  and the result was �R�c Yamada (mountain field) ���� Kenta (healthy and plump), which it should be �R�c�F�V
 
Still fun to do though												 |  |

 Joe, since it's early in January still it may not be too late, stop by your local community college (or look up their website) and see if they offer a conversational Japanese class.
 
 Your name would not translate into Japanese. You'd have to make an approximation.

 As PCM said above, your name would be written in katakana (the Japanese phonetical alphabet for foreign-origin words).
