Japanese China people have unique names.

According to a scholar who specializes in Japanese Chinese community culture, after contacting a large number of Japanese Chinese, he found that the names of Japanese Chinese are very distinctive.

According to the Japanese Chinese Herald, one of the characteristics of Japanese Chinese names is that there are many real names. Many people in China are unwilling to give up their real names when they take Japanese names, so they take one of their real names or change their surnames, while many people still use their real names. For example, after entering China, many Japanese people used to call Li Lihua Yamaguchi or Huazi Yamaguchi or Lizi Yamaguchi.

The second is that there are more surnames in Chinese characters. Many people in China choose surnames that start with or have Chinese characters, such as Nakagawa, Nakano and Zhongyuan. It is generally considered as the most popular name among Chinese in Japan.

Third, China people pay more attention to the meaning of names. When naming children in China, the meaning of a name is very particular, so it is very common to trace the meaning of a word back to ancient times. This cultural custom was not lost when China people entered Japan. Paying attention to the meaning of Japanese names has become a major feature of China people's names.

Some people in China simply use their real names and surnames, which has become one of the characteristics of names in China.
