	Collected Precedents of the S.C.A.: Japanese
		Names were formed from kanji combinations that made sense to the medieval Japanese mind.
		Changing their order would be similar to changing a specific given name in a name submission to a completely different (though, perhaps, similar sounding) name.
		Japanese names elements are created by combining Kanji characters, but the characters cannot be combined randomly; the characters that make up a name element only combine in groups that make conceptual sense to the medieval Japanese mind.

		That's what happened to the Japanese since they imported Chinese characters to begin historical existence with, in 6th century (many traditions that we assume to be Japanese are actually imported from China: kanji, Buddhism, ikebana, bonsai, tea ceremony, and so on, even sushi and Shinto; click here for story and pictures).

		JAPANESE is perhaps one of the most difficult languages to handle because on one hand it has 3 different scripts which are used either separately or in combination (see file on
		Unfortunately real people never use only katakana characters on their own, so a foreign scientist addressing Japanese people with katakana will convey - say for argument sake - 70% to 80% of the meaning across but may miss some little detail which would be contained in the most complex script called kanji.

	Notes to Bird Glossary - Japanese orthography
		Japanese possesses a complicated writing system, but possibly nowhere does it reach such complexity as it does in bird, animal and plant names.
		Name refers also to a mythical monster with the head of a monkey, the body of a racoon-dog, the tail of a snake, the limbs of a tiger, and the voice of a White's thrush.
		The Japanese may have lacked a name for these birds or the Japanese name was superseded by the Chinese for some reason.

	languagehat.com: Comment on CHOOSING JAPANESE NAMES.
		Japanese policy dictated that Koreans either could register a completely new Japanese family name unrelated to their Korean surname, or have their Korean family name, in Japanese form, automatically become their Japanese name.
		Japanese conventions of creating given names also made their way into Korea, such as putting a character "子" (Japanese ko and Korean ja meaning "descendant" or "son") to make feminine names like "玉子" (Japanese Tamako and Korean Okja), although this practice is seldom seen in modern Korea, either North or South.
		After the Japanese defeat in World War II and the liberation of Korea, the Name Restoration Order (조선 성명 복구령; 朝鮮姓名復舊令) was issued on October 23, 1946 by the United States military administration south of the 38th parallel north, enabling Koreans to restore their Korean names if they wished to.

		My daughter's name is Kaya and it is a name found in Japan (as well as many other countries.) She doesn't look Asian.
		As for using a Japanese name in another culture, I would avoid male names that end with an "a" because it could be mistaken for a girl's name in Western societies.
		Finally, as for adopting a Japanese child, it might be tough because not many Japanese people are giving their babies up for adoption like you would find in the less affluent neighboring countries.

	Japanese Name Translation
		In Japanese, there are 3 different scripts (Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana) to write a word or names, and it all depends on what sort of name is going to be translated.
		But, English names are usually translated with Onyomi reading, and if the sound of onyomi reading of a kanji character is the same as the sound of your name, its kanji character is allocated.
		Although names written with Hiragana and Katakana are the mix of sound characters, thus has no meaning, but with kanji script, Takanori will write your name with the kanji which has both sound and meaning for each character.

	Japanese Menu Names
		Translated literally, some oshinagaki, or Japanese restaurant menus, could be mistaken for poetry, especially those that are penned in flowing brush strokes on gossamer rice paper scrolls.
		Poetic names such as these evoke special images to the educated Japanese palate, but they also convey specific information about the food.
		Because of this association of foxes, bean curd, and Inari shrines, the slightly sweet, soy-simmered, fried bean curd pouches that are stuffed with vinegared rice are known as inari-zushi.

		The Japanese did many truely vile things during the occupation, but they also brought some progress to a county that was locked in the 14th century.
		Many took Japanese names and learned Japanese to gain an elite status in society (much the same way people learn English now, or the English elite used to learn French), and illegal migration to Japan was huge.
		The majority of people had already chosen Japanese names anyway, and you are completely ignoring that it was illegal for the first decade of collonial rule for a Korean to adopt a Japanese name.
