How can i make up japanese names without it sounding anime?

Question:


Working on my fantasy story, i'm trying to make up japanese names without them sounding as if it came from anime. Any help?

Answer:


Then skip Japanese names entirely. It's pretty much the only way to guarantee that the name doesn't sound "anime," since anime uses a mix of real Japanese names and made-up Japanese names. Or if you really must use Japanese-sounding names, study the naming conventions of historical periods in Japan and base your name on that instead of making it up from scratch or using something modern.
