How do you formally introduce yourself in Japanese?

Answer 1

"namae" if you are talking about your name ex:my name is~watashi no namae WA (your name) desu.

"o namae" if its someone else's name

ex:what is your name?~anata WA o namae nan desu ka?

Answer 2

Hajimemashite. Watashi/Boku/ Atashi no namae WA [your name here] desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Translated: How do you do. My name is [your name here]. Nice to meet you.

Ex.) Hajimemashite. Atashi no namae WA Ashurii desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Ex.) Hajimemashite. Boku no namae WA Matto desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Ex.) Ohayoo gozaimasu/Konnichi WA/Konban WA. Neisan desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

*Boku (Male ONLY), Atashi (Female ONLY), Watashi (General use).

*Hajimemashite can only be used when first meeting someone and never after. It means, "How do you do?" [Lit. it means, "It is the first time."]

*Yoroshiku onegaishimasu is formal. It means, "Nice to meet you." [Lit. it means, "Please take care of me."

*If you don't want to use yoroshiku onegaishimase, shorten it to, "Doozo yoroshiku." This means, "I'm glad to meet you." This is only for peers and friends.

*Instead of having "Watashi no namae WA ___ desu." you can shorten it to just your name + desu.

Answer 3

What is your name?

O-namae WA nani desu ka?

お名前は何ですか。 With kanji

おなまえはなにですか。Just hiragana.

The O in the beginning is for politeness and you can leave that out if you'd like.

Answer 4

To ask: onamae WA = what is your name?

To answer you say:watashi WA (name) desu = i am (name)

Hope this helps!!
