Is 平瑠夢斗 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 平瑠夢斗 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.
How many strokes is 平瑠夢斗?
