Generate authentic Japanese manga character names instantly. Perfect for your manga, comic, story, or roleplay character.
Our free manga character name generator creates authentic Japanese-style names suitable for any manga, anime, or comic project. Whether you're writing your own manga, building characters for a roleplay, or just need a cool name for a profile, our generator draws from a curated database of authentic Japanese given names and surnames combined with manga genre conventions. Manga character names follow patterns rooted in Japanese culture but often with creative twists for memorable protagonists. Shonen heroes typically have strong, action-oriented names. Shojo characters lean toward soft, melodic names. Seinen and josei manga use more mature, realistic names. Our generator understands these genre conventions and tailors suggestions accordingly. Beyond names, you can take your character all the way — upload a photo and create a full manga-style comic where your newly named character stars in a multi-panel story. Names are great starting points, but a name with a face and a story is unforgettable.
