go-gimei
This project is a golang port of Ruby's gimei. Import as library or use as CLI.
go-gimei generates fake data that people's name and address in Japanese and supports furigana phonetic renderings of kanji.
The project name comes from Japanese '偽名' means a false name.

Deterministic Random
go-gimei supports seeding of its pseudo-random number generator to provide deterministic output of repeated method calls.
import "math/rand"
gimei.SetRandom(rand.New(rand.NewSource(42)))
fmt.Println(gimei.NewName()) // 前川 永麻
fmt.Println(gimei.NewAddress()) // 佐賀県斜里郡斜里町浄法寺町樋口
gimei.SetRandom(rand.New(rand.NewSource(42)))
fmt.Println(gimei.NewName()) // 前川 永麻
fmt.Println(gimei.NewAddress()) // 佐賀県斜里郡斜里町浄法寺町樋口
