How Does It Work?
The converter uses a phonetic approach to translate the sound of your name into Japanese syllables. It then matches these syllables with a curated database of Kanji characters, chosen specifically for their cool, powerful, and artistic meanings—think 剣 (sword), 美 (beauty), and 炎 (flame).
The process is simple:
- Enter the Pronunciation: Type how your name sounds, not how it’s spelled. (e.g., “Michael” becomes “Maikeru”). The tool includes a detailed pronunciation guide to help you.
- Instant Conversion: The tool breaks down the pronunciation into syllables and randomly assigns a cool Kanji to each part.
- Discover Your Kanji Name: You’ll see your new Kanji name, its pronunciation, and a breakdown of the meaning behind each character.
For example, a name like “Jessica” might be entered as “Jeshika” and transformed into 時永詩火, which could mean “Time-Eternity-Poem-Fire.”

⚠️ An Important Note: For Entertainment Only
We designed this tool for fun and entertainment. The generated names are artistic interpretations and are not authentic Japanese names. They are created by prioritizing aesthetics and “cool” factor over linguistic accuracy.
Japanese naming conventions are deeply complex, involving specific character readings (on’yomi, kun’yomi), cultural context, and nuanced meanings that a simple generator cannot replicate.
Therefore, we strongly advise against using these results for anything permanent or official, such as:
- Tattoos
- Official documents or branding
- Any situation requiring an authentic Japanese name
Think of this as creating an “anime-style” or fantasy name, not a real one. Using these generated names in a formal context could be seen as unnatural or strange by native Japanese speakers.
