How to choose Japanese names for your characters

Keep characters distinct

Avoid similar names for characters who often share a scene: Haruto and Haruki are easier to confuse than Haruto and Kaito.

Name a pair

For a brother and sister, choose names that sound distinct, such as Haruto and Akari.

Try the name in dialogue

Try Haruto and Kaito in the same line of dialogue. The rhythm can help you choose between them.
