Jul 13, 2016 at 16:11 comment added 水巷孑蠻 yes, only for people understand chinese & japanese. however, for "foreigner" who have no / little knowledge, a 4 characters name in kanji, it's hard to distinguish. anyway, it's a guess, i maybe wrong :)
Jul 13, 2016 at 16:03 comment added ltux Even if a Chinese people has 1 character surname + 3 characters given name, his/her name won't look like a common Japanese name. That's because Chinese have very different taste from Japanese when choosing Chinese characters for given names. And, the two countries use totally different surname sets. It's very easy to distinguish a Chinese name from a Japanese one, even if they are both made up of four Chinese characters.
