Masakazu is a Japanese given name for males, composed of two kanji characters: "masa" (正) meaning "correct", and "kazu" (和) meaning "harmony". The name's pronunciation follows the traditional Japanese reading order, with "ma" pronounced first, followed by "sa", then "ka", and finally "zu". Masakazu is relatively uncommon compared to other popular Japanese names like Hiroshi or Satoshi. It is not widely used outside of Japan but can be found among people of Japanese descent living abroad. The name does not have any significant historical figures or popular characters associated with it, making its meanings more abstract and personal in nature.
Masakazu is not a common name, with only five babies named Masakazu born in 1921 and seven in 1925, totaling twelve over those four years.
