    And here's an example of what towngen.wordo generates:

    Code:
    pisoshi
      Occupation: shochu-dealer
      FirstName: kijiteho
    kito
      Occupation: rice-farmer
      FirstName: zowosu
    zachihawe
      Occupation: sake-dealer
      FirstName: ohi
    hihi
      Occupation: sake-dealer
      FirstName: hehechihi
    mofuji
      Occupation: furrier
      FirstName: awatsu
    The file was inspired by this discussion: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=6872

    I set up rules to make occupations from sets of tokens (occupations and occupations-rare) and weighted it to make rare occupations, well, rarer. The names I made Japanese-ish by setting up token sets to build something that resembles the hiragana set of sounds. I'm pretty sure I'm not hitting all of it, especially the ya/yo/yu combinations and ji u -> ju rules.

    I'm thinking I can add (some of) those using the translate command.

    Edit: Bummer, I didn't think about paging, so most people are probably going to miss the previous two posts. Yes, serves me right for triple-posting, I guess. Please, take a look at previous page.
