See http://kanjidict.stc.cx/japnames.php for a whole list of common names.
I'd say the most ubiquitous are probably Keiko, Hanako, Yumi, Mariko, and Akiko for women, and Taro, Takashi, Hiroshi and Akira for men.

Yuki , seems to be rather common for girls.
It can also be Yukiko or Yukie.
Yuki , in Japanese means snow and purity(sort of like power/strength)
For boys , I would have to say Kenji is rather common , And family name Tanaka is also heard often.

Yoko.. like John Lennon's Yoko Ono..
Takahashi (surname) I think is common like Smith is in the Western world.
Yasuo.. - Male (the name I meant, don't know where I got Mendu from).. :)
