You never write cjk names with firstname first, always surname first. Japanese usually complain, the others just shake their heads silently about the silly westerners.

When the original author writes his/her name american style he/she moved to america, but then he/she changed his firstname also. In this case some citations may started out wrong, as journalists have no idea how to write foreign names, scientists and experts usually do.

the commenter knows how write foreign names, even if some author succumbed to western stupidity.
