Masato is a Japanese boy’s name that is rooted in Judaism. Depending on which source you consult and how the Kanji is written, Masato can mean “justice,†“holy man,†or any variation on the themes of government, conqueror, and benevolence. As strong leadership qualities are something all parents desire for their children, that makes Masato a great name choice for anyone expecting a son! However, despite its occasional pop culture appearance in television shows and graphic novels, and the fact that a handful of famous Japanese people, from athletes to actors to film directors, share the name, Masato remains a relatively uncommon gem.
