[Facts] Re: Jewish names in Japan
There was a small handful of Jews who emigrated to Japan in the late 19th century, a couple of hundred families at the very most. I don't know your source for the names you mentioned, but I would say, rather, that apparently Jewish people adopted Japanese names which were somewhat similar to their original names. All the Japanese names you mentioned are typical, native names that do not stand out in any way.
