1. You usually don’t use them, but you can use 彼 and 彼女

2. >Is there a Japanese equivalent

   Not that I’m aware of.

   English practically requires using gendered pronouns to address or be addressed, but that’s not the case in the Japanese language (or culture). Last name+さん/様 works more than enough in most, if not all realistic situations. The most gendered pronoun comes in when you refer to yourself, but a) that doesn’t require showing it off for everyone to see, and b) depending on how it’s used, “gendered” first person pronouns aren’t even gendered to begin with.

3. There isn’t, as that is mostly an American culture thing. Definitely take a look at native bio’s on socials if you want to recreate something natural looking
