Q:
Japanese names are in the order of "first name and last name", but in Europe and the United States, the order is reversed and "first name and last name".
Therefore, it is common to reverse the Japanese name according to the "Western style" only when writing it in the alphabet. Passports and credit cards are also written in that order.
[Example]
Japanese style: 大坂なおみ
Western style: Naomi Osaka
However, some people may find it uncomfortable to write in a different order.
In China and South Korea, names are written in the same order of "first name and last name" as in Japan, but writing in the alphabet does not change the order. In Japan, the "Western style" order has been used since the Meiji era, but in May 2019, the government called on the media to change the order to the original "first name and last name". It may change in the future. Does this sound natural?
