Is it possible for an African-American to adopt a Japanese name?

Answer 1

sure, many people get their names changed, regardless of ancestry.

Answer 2

under US regulation, as long as you reason for changing your call is criminal, there are no longer any regulations on what you alter it to. I trust the guy that stated their isn't any such element as a eastern-American call. There are names that come from Japan and people that don't. Its no longer 'politically the appropriate option', yet i could argue there is not any such element as an African-American. you're the two and American or you're no longer. maximum so called African-people have on no account been to Africa besides. in spite of if the had, that can cause them to people of African descent.

Answer 3

Hell yeah it is! Our names arent african to begin with in the first place, so i dont see nothing wrong, I think that anyone could change their name to anything under the sun as long as they are completely happy with it!

Answer 4

I wouldn't advise it, then you would get the annoying constant question asking if you were part Japanese, and that would personally annoy the hell outta me. But noone says you can't.....
