What is a good anime/manga name for my main character?

I am writing/drawing a manga and i need some help. My main character has his personality but no name. ( I threw in a bit of info about the manga for reference i guess to the history of this character)

This is a bit long but please read and comment (any helpful suggestion or changes would be nice too)

He is a 15 years old and 4' 6". He has jet black hair and dark green eyes. His hair is semi-long (not past shoulders) and spiky. He has wolf-like features (sharp teeth, wolf ears, short tail, sharp claws(more human looking though).

He always wears a black hoodie and black jeans. (so basically all of him is black except his skin.

He smart but tries not to show it. He hates taking order form anyone. He also doesn't like people who take orders. He has his own way of doing things without much help. Its very hard for someone to make friends with him but when they do he is extremely loyal and won't let anything harm the ones he cares about. Very athletic and quick. Not good with computers and any fancy technology. Quick to action and tries to make his friend laugh anyway he can. He acts completely different when he's with friends than when he is out and about. Because he acts like a jerk to everybody else he gets into many fights . This leaves him most of the time with bandages and scratches. He a people person with his friends but can;t seem to get along with the girl he likes. He always makes the best out of everything and tries to resolve any conflict straight away. Mostly with force though this rarely every works. He stronger than his small demeanor makes him out to be.

He belongs to a group of teenagers who fight along side their "shadows" (basically mini versions of the character who are like loyal servants and can disappear back into the master's shadow) each of these teenagers have their own and they formed a small group to battle against those who would hurt them (only a select few have the "shadows", each character who has a shadow grew more animal-like depending on which animal their shadow decided to embrace as his sponsor to this world. My main character's shadow chose a wolf so he has wolf-like features another chracter's shadow (female, also the shadow of the one he likes) chose a fox therefore giving the girl fox like features.

In order to hide these features they use this special technology(which the main character doesn't understand at all) ,that was created by a member of their group, which makes their animal-like features invisible to others. The main reason that caused this group to be formed was because normal humans feel this impulse(not knowingly) to dislike these select few who were granted a "shadow". But each character doesn't receive their "shadow until sometime around their 14th birthday. (meaning my main character has had his "shadow for a year).

Later on in the manga(well I'm not sure if it's a manga actually, not yet anyway) the forces at work against these teens find out their identities and track them down. they are forced into hiding after one of the characters is murdered in her sleep. Her shadow was able to escape and warned the others before they were harmed. The next day the families, and everybody else completely forgets that they ever existed (this being the work of the bad guys( not sure of term yet or even what they are) )

They work together to fight against the bad guys to regain what they have lost, make a place for their kind in this world, and save any others that are still in danger of death.

    I've noticed that a lot of times it's good to give a character a name that's not necessarily a name. For example, look at Black Cat. Train and Creed aren't names but they work well for the characters. Same goes for Light, Mello, L and Near in Death Note.

    Names should also be catchy, short, or otherwise memorable. Think of the character's personality and how you want people to read the character. Something cheery, like Mitsu (sun/light) probably wouldn't work so well for him, but at the same time you don't want him to become cliche so it's probably best not to name him something like Kira (dark).

    And if nouns don't work you can always search around on an internet site like this one, which lets you search by country of origin and gender and gives you the meaning of the name. http://www.20000-names.com/

    There are a lot of these sites on the internet. Just search for 'baby names' on whatever search engine you use...

    First name that came to mind was "Arc"

    As that's been suggested several other times, I think that it'd be a good choice, as people are already associating that name with your character!

    Ooh, after reading the other answers (sorry, I know its not cool to take other people's ideas but in this case I'm combining two diff ones into a new one!)... I think the name "Arc Okami" would be pretty cool...

    Your character sounds really cool and the story seems interesting. I'd it if that matters, anywho here are some cool names;;

    Akio means "Glorious hero" in japanese

    Ken means "Healty or Strong" in japanese

    Tadao means "loyal man" in japanese

    For the fox-girl

    Aphrodite is the venus god in greek mythology and stands for love, and strength.

    I like the names Satoshi and Ryouta but not Leera. I guess Leera looks kind of odd compared to Satoshi and Ryouta. That's just my opinion. If you want to keep the name, go ahead. :) [EDIT] I like the title of the story. It makes me think that the story is set back in the days with ninjas, samurais, and magic! What does the title mean?
