English translation:Kashiwabayashi Tatsuo
Explanation:
Darby is right about the third character being Chinese. If you're 100% sure that this is a Japanese person's name, then the equivalent should be 龍雄, or Tatsuo. 柏林 means Berlin in Chinese and is not a common Japanese surname, so you could very well be dealing with Chinese.

kashiwabayashi + (chinese word)


Explanation:
first one kashiwa (meaning oak)
second one hayashi, changes to BAYASHI in combination
3rd one is chinese, so the 3rd and 4th ones together are probably the name of a chinese product, someone's name
