Hiroshi
Kaoru
Kenichi
Kenta
Masashi (this is the name of the student we are currently hosting)
Ryouichi
Satoshi
Shigeru
Taiki
Takashi
Yaso (I think the meaning for this name is interesting: "Eight-ten. The word for "nine" sounds like the word for "suffering," so this name means that suffering should skip the child the way the child's name skips suffering.")

I wouldn't have a problem with Japanese names on kids of other ethnicities, but all I ever seem to hear about are little white girls named Sakura running around. I like Sakura and all, but there ARE other Japanese names out there. (As a middle name, though, no big deal - anything goes for a middle name imo. Chloe Sakura is cute.)
