Given two Unicode strings encoding a first and last name (in Japanese or Chinese), what would be the best approach to tell if the first/last name belongs is Chinese or Japanese?

For example, is it possible to tell if the following are Chinese or Japanese names?

任天堂
金城武
唐泽西
白川轩 
竹中宇
叶山明
林慧梦

No, it is impossible to tell the language of a string from just its raw character content alone.
