Correct style for names

[edit]

From Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Japan-related_articles)#Names

  • For a 'historical figure' ('a person born before the first year of Meiji (1868)'), always use the traditional Japanese order of family name + given name.
  • For a 'modern figure' ('a person born from the first year of Meiji (1868) onward'), always use the Western order of given name + family name.
