I need a name that sounds Japaneses... ?

Question

This is for a character in a story I am writing, the name needs to sound cool or tuff in English but be Japanese, to help (or make harder) I would like the name to mean something as well, any of the following would be fine... War Prophet, Chosen one, Born of the Earth. or any combination there of. So "chosen prophet" is good or "Earth War" Etc...  I need it so sound good, be easy to pronounce in English, yet translated can mean something like the above words, so it can be other words that mean same sort thing like instead of War you can have battle if that word is much better sounding in your opinion...

Anyway any suggestions you have would be great...

Thanks..

闘牙
Touga (=meaning "fighting fang")

闘真
Touma (=meaning "fighting truth")

These are the one I can think of right now.  Japanese names themselves don't have meanings, but the kanjis used in those names do.  "闘" means "to fight" and can be used for Japanese names with no problem.  So, I'd recommend a name that has "闘" in it, like the two examples above.

Other suggestions are:

聖
Satoshi (meaning "saint")

賢
Ken (meaning "wisdom")

大地
Daichi (meaning "earth")

勇騎
Yuuki (meaning "brave knight")

勇輝
Yuuki (meaning "brave and shiny")

Ken is a Japanese... like Hirai Ken 平井堅

Japanese don't have meanings like, "War prophet" they don't consider names that have those English meanings.
 
I don't know why so many westerners think that the Japanese would take in consideration an English meaning to a name, and they do it with every language--Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, etc etc. 

Japanese just pick names with nice kanji and that have a good flow with their surname.

I lived in Japan and it would want to wonder you that names like Rainbow,Moon,Meadow,movie star,Seth,Karston are very conventional. once you get to extra classic asian names they seem to be a touch unusual. i'm hoping you're a minimum of one/2 or a quarter eastern and compared to between the at a loss for words youngsters which aren't to any extent further eastern and tattoo eastern paintings or words on themselves
