Because I've seen people use english and japanese names in the same sentence, which I'm not upset about, I decided to create an Japanese ---> English name list for those who are only aquainted with the english ones.


Netto Hikari---> Lan Hikari
Rockman.EXE---> Megaman
Enzan Ijuuin---> Chaud Blaze
Blues.EXE---> Protoman
Meiru Sakurai---> Maylu Sakurai
Roll.EXE---> Roll
Dekao Oyama---> Dex Oyama

Yaito Ayanokouji---> Yai Ayano
Glyde.EXE---> Glide(Glyde)
Tohru Hikawa---> Tory Froid
Iceman.EXE---> Iceman
Forte---> Bass
Madoi Iroaya---> Maddy
Elec Hakushaku---> Count Elec
Mahajorama---> Yahoot
Shuuryou---> Kid Grave
Mariko and Yuriko Oozono---> Ms. Mari and Ms. Yuri
Saloma---> Sal
Higure Yamitaro---> Mr. Higsby
Midorikawa Kero---> Ribbita
Masa---> Maysa
Miyuki Kuroi---> Miyu
Meijin Eguchi---> Mr. Famous
Commisioner Kifune---> Chief Keifer
Manabe---> Manuela
Hinoken---> Mr. Match
Laika---> Raika
Nenji---> Fyrefox
Yuuichiro Hikari---> Dr. Hikari

As you can see, these are only a few and some of them didn't change at all. These are the ones I could think of off the top of my head. If you can think of some more that I didn't add (like characters from Stream) please, post here!

You should also keep in mind that with Japanese names, the last name comes before the first. Enzan Ijuuin would be Ijuuin Enzan, Netto Hikari would be Hikari Netto, and so on. It's the proper way to write out Japanese Names.
That is one of the biggest mistakes I see when people write fic's and use the Japanese names.

I soo know what you mean. It's proper to write it out as so, though in some cases I've heard people announce their names from first-to-last even in japanese. So even though in Japan it would actually be Hikari, Netto, it can also be said Netto Hikari, either one is correct.
