Which is a Better Introduction?


If I were to introduce myself, which would be better?

  1. はじめまして、あかみです。どうぞよろしく。

  2. はじめまして、あかみです。よろしくお願いします。

  3. How would you introduce yourself? Any better recommendations instead of 1 & 2 ?!

Thanks :D




Both are fine.

For some reason my first text book taught どうぞよろしく but when I went to Japan the
first thing I noticed was how rarely, if ever, I heard it. People always said
よろしくお願い（いた）します, so I started to do the same.

どうぞ means "please" and I would say it is used more often to make a request
into a polite invitation ("please sit down"/どうぞお掛けください).

Grammatically どうぞ still means _please_ when you say どうぞよろしく (you are
effectively dropping お願いします) but when making introductions it is something of
set phrase and as you know gets translated as "How do you do", "Pleased to
meet you".
