1 year agoAlong with Tanaka, Yamada (山田) is also often used as a placeholder surname. It’s a comparably common name that’s also simple to read and write.
As for female placeholder given names, IMO the closest equivalent to Taro would probably be Hanako (花子). I’ve seen adverts that show sample credit cards or forms bearing these names.
For example, an ad for a Toyota financing promotion might feature the name Toyota Taro on the sample application form. Or in a Mitsubishi UFJ credit card ad, the happy-looking lady in the ad will be using a credit card that bears the name Mitsubishi Hanako.
I’m interested in it because the tripod kit has quick magnetic attach/detach, unlike the Moonlander’s. I’d want to mount it to the arms of my chair.
The only two things holding me back right now are the missing two columns of keys in the middle and the cost.
