Japanese term or phrase: Japanese names
Hi all,

I have to translate some dialogues, but my client has left the names in their japanese versions!
As gender makes a lot of difference in my language (Italian) could you help me find out if these are male or female names? Thank you! :)

English translation:Genji
Explanation:
Here's a lead on the last name. These sites have ゲンジ as a male character whose name has been transliterated as Genji. If you're translating for Pokemon products, that is.

Character names: Sharu, Kard the Mountain Wizard, Genji


Explanation:
First of all キャラ名 means 'character names'
Sharu (transliteration guess, gender indeterminate)
Kard the Mountain Wizard (仙人 refers to a hermit with supposed supernatural mountains living in mountains, meaning it's an older male)
Genji (male name)
