I have characters for a little story I may or may not end up actually making in the future. However, I have no idea what I want their names to be. All I know is that I want the names to be Japanese style names because they sound nice.
So I need name help with her:
The demon princess. Has no right to the throne because each royal family has at least (And usually) one child who looks like a shadow. Teams up with a human in order to dethrone her brother and fix the demon kingdom.
her:
A human sorceress. Teams up with the character above her to topple the demon king (the demon princess' brother) and the cult running the human kingdom. I also need a name for her familiar, a charming but shy girl.
her:
The leader of the mentioned cult. Will end up dying, but not before posing a serious threat. Like the girl above her, I also need a name for her familiar. Also a girl, but an evil and deceitful girl.
her:
A demon who stands outside of the kingdom's hierarchy. Sides with the character on the very top to take down the demon king. Will give her a magical taser.
him:
The demon king (or former demon king) himself. So, umm, remember when I said only demons who looked like shadows could rule the kingdom. Well, he does look like a shadow before his sister tases him and takes over the kingdom. Unlike the cult boss, he isn't completely evil and does have a change of heart after this happens. He's still a little mad at his sister at first though.
Ok, so I used https://www.behindthename.com/ and Google for only one. I'm not sure if the meanings are exactly correct (because behindthename has a chance of being wrong), but I hope you like them (and even if you don't, that's ok)!

Thank you for your name suggestions! Your names are great and, thanks to you, I'm going to use Yuki, Akira and Nakano. Thanks again!

The names I was thinking that could fit him is Kaage or alternatively spelled Kage. It means shadow. I though it could be fitting because he's supposed to look like a shadow and the name would also convey his royalty. Another name you could use is Kouki which means light and happiness to convey his change of heart. Last, but not least Naoya which means mend, reform, and improve. This name could also convey his change of heart.

Whenever I don't have a name picked out for a character already, there are two tools I fall back on.
- This one is the one I use the most often, almost %100 percent of the time.
https://www.name-generator.org.uk/quick/
It's a generator that just spews names. There's more generators on the site, but I find that they usually aren't as good as this one.
- This is the one I turn to when I need something really specific. It also has some great generators for names that aren't for characters.
https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/
Despite the name, it doesn't only have fantasy names, it has a huge array of topics.
Hope you find what you're looking for, good luck!
Okay. So now everyone, except for maybe the familiars, has a name. The human sorceress' name is now Kazuko. This name is, according to behind the name, a Japanese name meaning "Peace child".
