Japanese names
In Japan the given name always comes after the family name:
- Example: 福田康夫 (Template:Transl). 福田 ("Template:Transl") is the family name.
However, to reflect the Western convention of listing the given name first and the family name last, some Japanese people born since the establishment of the Meiji era (1868-09-08) conform to the "given name, family name" order in western texts. So 福田康夫 (Template:Transl) is listed as "Yasuo Fukuda". On Wikipedia, normally Western order is used for people born from the first year of Meiji (1868) onward.
