They use furigana, if their names are really unusual.  But it's rare
case since our names are not mix cultured as American names.  Besides
that, it's popular among us Japanese Ruby community to write our names
in Hiraganas.  I'm one of them.

By the way, furigana (small letters to show pronounce along with the
text) is often called as "Ruby" from its font size (5.5pt).  Now we
are back to the list topic. ;-)
