Posted in: Kono suggests need to end reversal of Japanese names in English See in context
I get business cards in both orders, but usually with family name in capitals so either ASO Taro, or Taro ASO is OK, but you do need to know. If there is a common surname, eg, Sato, you often need the full name for clarification and that is usually done the the European order in my experience. Use of surnames first/only isn't that uncommon with older people and in some contexts in a lot of countries, but it is inappropriate in others. As an academic, I remember surnames a lot better, so I find it easier in Japan, S. Korea, etc.!
