100 Japanese Female Names
Publisher: Art of War Games

Edit: this list has since been updated and revised; most of the names in it now contain genuine Japanese names but some are still questionable. I don't think people should support a company that produces the kind of list mentioned in my review below and only changes it someone called them on it. My original review stands below so everyone can see how bad it originally was - who knows how shameless and awful the other lists are, since there aren't reviews to shame Art of War Games into providing bare minimum effort.

Original Review:
This list is awful. It claims to be a list of 100 Japanese Female names, but the names aren't actual Japanese names. They aren't even convincingly fake Japanese names - it doesn't use the Japanese characters at all. These are examples of some of the "Japanese Names" present in this product:

Yamuk Tanuye
Kuda Urit
Hata Miwak
Uesuk Kami

This is the pinnacle of low-effort awful. The author couldn't even be bothered to pull a list from Wikipedia or make "convincing" fake Japanese names by using the actual sounds in the Japanese alphabet. I speak Japanese and this is almost insulting in how low effort fake it is.
If you use this in a game, your friends will laugh at you. If your friends have even the slightest passing familiarity with something remotely almost connected to a thing that approaches the concept of the Japanese language they will laugh at you. You will become the subject of mockery if you use anything from this list.

Don't buy this. If the other lists from this company, or the other products from this company, are even close to as awful and insulting as 100 Japanese Female names by Art of War Games, they aren't worth even the time it would take to download. (Much less the money you spend.) This is bad enough that I will actively recommend against anything else by this company.

Don't be fooled by the cover, inside is the equivalent of a blank sheet of paper with a list of names. I think some of the names might not even be Japanese. Yamuk sounds Hungarian and Uesuk might be an insult? Some exception could be made if the names didn't break verisimilitude, but my Japanese friend wouldn't stop laughing at my character named "Yamuk."
