Japanese greetings

"Greetings in Japan are formal and ritualized. It is important to show the correct amount of respect to someone based on their status relative to your own." 

Japanese family names consist of two “kanji” (Chinese characters) related to geographical features, nature or locations. Japanese first names consist of two “kanji” which often mean positive characteristics such as intelligence, beauty and names for flowers.

In Japan, male first names end with -ro, -shi, -ya, or -o while female names end with -ko, -mi, -e and –yo.

In addition, Japanese people rarely address each other just by name but usually attach an appropriate title to the name.
