I´m writing a manga but I don´t know a lot of japanese names or their culture (I´m portuguese so sorry if I spelled something wrong XP).
First Thing: I need japanese boys names, I need like 4 or 5, but one has to be to a boy that is kinda funny and "head in the moon" but can be very evil if he wants too. And 3 cool japanese girl names.
Second Thing: Last names! Cool ones… I just need 3, but 1 one of them is for a supernatural family mafia.
Third Thing: A name for a city.
Fourth Thing: How are japanese high schools? Is it the same as an american high school? And in Japan do people sleep on those made beds?… (stupid questions I know… -.-") And how is an university there?
It´s all! Please help! >.<
Japanese high schools are really different than American high schools. In Japan, almost everyone has to wear a uniform. Many of them participate in clubs but most drop out in junior and senior years to go to "juku" or cram school so that they can study for college entrance exams. In Japan, you must apply and take a test to get into high schools because they are ranked on how smart they are. College is more laid back. People don’t have to wear uniforms. Professors are absent a lot and you don’t have to blow your life savings to buy textbooks. Professors are lenient and you can get a lot of extra credit if you do badly in school.
For names, just get them from other anime and manga. Common girl names end in "ko". For boys, some of them are based on their order of birth. For example, ichirou means that he is the first born because ichi means one.
Hi. Does anyone know the title of the movie about some japanese (or something else asian) army guys getting timetravelled into the past (middle ages. well. the guys from the not future ride on horses and shoot arrows) with their equipment?
sounds like Samurai Commando.
It could also be
Sengoku jieitai (1979)

Jomon pre-dates the Yayoi period in Japanese pre history.
The primary difference is in the pottery made by these pre-literate cultures. the name Jomon refers to the rope pattern found on the pottery.
Yayoi pottery is more advanced and is glazed where as Jomon is rough.

Hello I’m going to Japan this summer and I would like to know basic Japanese etiquette that I have to consider.
Do not tip at restaurant or other places.
Do not talk on cell phone on train or bus.
Let passengers exit first when you are about to get on train.
I have an usual sense of style. I look a bit like my avatar, and my style is a mixture of hippie, goth and lolita complete with facial piercings etc.
Whenever I go outside, some loser (generally male – females just give the evil looks) feels the need to comment, by calling me "sick", "weird", "a freak" or making some inane comment such as, "oh my fucking God look at that girl". I am honestly a very quiet, socially awkward person – my style is the only thing that gives me confidence, since I was bullied a lot as a kid for less obvious idiosyncrasies. I find it hurtful sometimes, but more often than not, I just think, what the hell are they doing, and why aren’t they ashamed to be behaving in such an uneducated, animalistic fashion?
I am wondering, if you saw someone dressed a little oddly in the streets (I’m not THAT weird, just alternative. Think a less OTT version of Lady Gaga with more Japanese influence. For example today I’m wearing a "Be Happy" slogan t-shirt, a greyish short skirt, lace tights, purple Dr. Martens, and a purple bow in my hair – which is like my avatar) would you feel a need to comment a make a fool of yourself? Bear in mind I usually confront them unless I have earphones in. I also love this assumption I’m somehow mentally retarded or lacking in depth… I often get spoken to be aforementioned idiots in a verrry slooow way.
Personally, I fail to understand it. If I saw someone in the street with tattoos covering their entire body, multi-coloured hair and plastic icicles hanging from their neck, it would still not occur to me to say anything, because it’s just not my business to judge them and it’s totally lacking in social etiquette.
Opinions?
Jeez, I never realised how many ignorant people used this website. Why, pray, do I seem like a poser oh great modest one? Because I’m literate? Because I have a degree of self-respect? As I said, I’m socially awkward, in therapy, have only a few friends and never go out. I’m hardly a poser on that account.
I really despair of the human race. Thanks for helping, guys << sarcasm, in case you haven’t heard of it.
And I’ve been dressing the way I do for 5 years in an attempt to overcome my demons/issues with confidence. It would alien for my to dress "normally" now, just as it would be for you to dress "alternatively". Although I did seriously consider it the other day.
Condensed into one sentence: fuck off, you ignorant fools. If anyone wants to offer *constructive* opinions, I would like to hear them.
For the record, I have OCD, Asperger’s Syndrome and bipolar (manic depression) so conforming would be a little hard unless I was happy with being treated as a lesser human being.
Did you know that a mother hen will peck relentlessly at the deformity of its chick? They will peck and peck until the creature either dies, or is defaced of its original abnormality/individuality.
I suppose you could relate that to some extent to the situation here; you aren’t ascribing to what is a generally conformist dress sense, and therefore Will be demonized naturally by some elements of wider society. Its only natural to attack those who stray from the tribe.
What’s important to remember is that every single advancement human kind has ever achieved was spurred by people engaging in exactly what you are doing, resisting the norm. Don’t expect the average ignorant human to support your endevours of distinctiveness, because they wont. Welcome their ridicule, they are only ultimately, ironically, laughing at themselves.
There’s no need to feel alone, remember that there are other people out there like you, once more I’m sure you will enjoy their company more so than the mundane average you have described. Leave them to laugh at themselves.

I’m doing a research paper on motivations for Asian travel to North America. If you are part of this ethnicity please contribute!! 
I know nothing of Korean, and little of Chinese travellers. However, it is my understanding that the Japanese do not take annual trips like many in North America would. They tend to save up, and then every 10 years or so, make an extravagant holiday, picking an exotic place and doing everything that can be done, and staying in top places while they do it. If you have travelled to any top tourist spot in Canada (Banff, Niagara Falls, etc.) you can see them, busily clicking away on their cameras, and on a schedule – they might visit a museum for 20 minutes, while I am there for 2-3 hours. I have seen this a lot.
Another thing they like to do is see the Northern Lights. They have a believe that a child conceived under the Northern Lights is lucky. So, they come to the North (Yukon, and NWT in particular) to, ummmm, "do what’s natural" when the Northern Lights are out.
I suspect Canada and the US are picked because of the English language, which many Japanese know at least some of (I imagine the same for Korean and Chinese visitors), whereas Europe has many different languages. There are also places with high concentrations of Japanese tourists that have signs and such in Japanese. I have seen this in Prince Edward Island (they love Anne of Green Gables, apparently), and Banff, amongst other places.
