I'm Japanese, and I do this sometimes, but I don't think many Japanese
do this. Most people just Westernize their name order to Given name - Surname.
I thought this practice is in Europe where there are some culture (Hungarian.
any other?)
exists where the surname comes before the given name. I also see this
in Hollywood movie credits and ads in these days.
