I should have known who it was :)
I actually am not familiar with enough Japanese names to know if most first and/or last names end in a vowel.
I am pretty sure the last names do.
I know a lot of the foods do :)
Good lord,I just found this post and didn’t realize it was you that I gave that snippy answer to————funny!
I’ve never even heard of a Japanese surname that did NOT end in a vowel,and 99% of their first names also end in vowels.
(DIL is Japanese descent.)
