Starting in the late Nineteenth century, Japan adopted the western custom of putting the given name first and family name last when writing/saying their names in English.
It’s only in the last few years that a movement has started to change it so that the order will match between Japanese and English.

This is the real answer. I know the name "Shinzo Abe" and I know the name "Ban Ki-Moon" but I could not have told you until a few seconds ago when I looked it up which of either is the family name and which is the personal name. Wiki has an overview of Japan's Meiji-era decision to swap name orders in contexts using Western languages.
