How to Choose Your Japanese ML Name

Match your role. Assassins suit shadow and speed names (Kage, Hayate, Hiei). Tanks suit earth and steel (Daichi, Kurogane). Mages suit moon, star and dream names (Tsuki, Hoshi, Yume). Marksmen suit wind and swiftness (Kaze, Shun).

Kanji or romaji? Romaji (Ryu, Sakura) is readable for every teammate and always works. Using the kanji itself looks striking, but if the game or a font refuses a character, fall back to the romaji version from the same row — the meaning stays yours.

Make it yours. Combine a name with a short tag: Kage + your lucky number, Lady + Tsuki, or your initials after the name. Keep it short enough to stay readable in a fast kill feed.
