Please forgive me if this is in the wrong section or has been posted before.

I am a 5th generation Japanese Canadian through my father and grandfather and will be looking to visit for a few reasons both fun and serious. Due to a tradition the family picked up upon arriving here I have both an "English" name and a "Japanese" name - the latter having lost its meaning when it got to me. I also look white enough that when my face and family name are presented in the same place at the same time, even in North America, some do a double take.

Any recommendations on which way I should be introducing myself and writing my name (if needed) when I go?

I can write the kanji for my family name - for as poorly as I write to start. I do not, however, have a meaning for my Japanese given name to even have a place to start for that.

Anyway, thank you for your consideration.
