most people who have name on their pasmo or suica cards are the ones who used it for monthly pass. It even has its own security number if you want to change the current information on it.
The name on my pasmo is in katakana, very long
. It even has my telephone number just in case I lost it.
My ICOCA card does not have any name on it. I usually just charged it when I use it so name is not that important
