There is a Chinese reference work which seems to be quit exhaustiv:
  Riben Xingming Cidian (Lexicon of Japanese Surnames and Names)
  Commersial Press, Shanghai, 1982 (by Shi Jun)
This 1600 pages book contains 70.000 Surnames and 40.000 Names; it
is arranged according the Kanji (first stroke number then bushoo)
Each entry hase kanji --- hiragana --- romaji.
It was not very expensive RMB 6.- which is roughly US$ 1.- (but I am
afraid, it is no more availabel; hopefully one might find it in some
libraries).

With best regards
Urs Widmer
