In all the world, Okamoto (オカモト , Okamoto , おかもと) is a rare dominantly boy's, but uncommonly girly first name. The given name Okamoto is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly Japan, where it is a rare gender-neutral name, and China, where it is a very rare mostly male, but seldom female name. Very seldom, Okamoto is the last name as well as the forename.
Okamoto is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Okamoto Katsushiro , the fictional character from Samurai 7.
