[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 92033, member: 79"] Pretty close, and certainly beyond the scope of what OA was intended for. You'd also have to add Chiniese and other asian information as well to be fair. [B][/B] Though a Japanese friend of mine claims the English alphabet should be included as a fourth.:) [B][/B] Though tyo clarify the joyo kanji list of everyday use kanji is like 1,945. According to my old Japanese teacher, most native speakers will know between 8,000 and 10,000 kanji. [B][/B] Not quite sure where this comes from. 46 basic characters in both katakana and hiragana. Including every thing you can possibly add, hiragana maxed at 104, and that's counting double hiragana (pya,pyo,etc) as a new 'character'. First year Japanese we only spent like three classes learning the kana, it's pretty easy. I can recommend Eri Takase's fine site at: [url]http://www.takase.com/Names/NameInJapanese.htm[/url] It's not a list of Japanese names per se, but you can go in, use an english name you like and find a Japanese equivilant. For example,my name comes out as Maaku. But in kanji it can also be Senshi, Gunshin, or Kasei based on the name's meaning. Personally...I have a book listing 500+ Japanese pro wrestlers that I carry to the game for fast reference when I need a name unexpectedly. [/QUOTE]
