The Takenaka FamilyNotes: I used the Renamer for my initial couple after using a country randomizer for name origin inspiration. Out of the ten I rolled, I picked Japan. I chose to use Western name order (given name followed by surname) since that’s how they come up in the Renamer and to lessen confusion for anyone who actually decides to look at my Year Game ;) I didn’t use middle names as that is uncommon in Japan. When a child turned 18, I rolled each year to see if they’d be in a relationship (even=yes, odd=no) and if yes, I rolled for them too as a new separate family starting the next year. I used the country randomizer again for additional SOs if I didn’t feel like them being Japanese as well.Final Family: The Takenakas
Ryoichi & Asuka – Kenta (a), Yuuma (a), Hayato/Sora, Reina/Daichi, Noa, Tadashi/Hiroka/Miyuki/Kichiya
*Pets: Chibi, Jirou

They are fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, and Ryo and Asuka decide to go with a “sky” theme in honor of their Asuka’s name (which has the spelling meaning flying bird), so they chose Hayato (falcon) and Sora (sky).YEAR2 – Location: JapanUnfortunately, times are tight (Asuka only got a part-time tutoring job because of the twins’ arrival) and the Takenakas file for bankruptcy.YEAR3 – Location: JapanThe Takenakas submit a video of the twins to Americas Funniest Home Videos and its chosen for the show.
