Reply to comment by Dunlaing in ELI5: Why do English speakers switch Japanese names to have the family name last, but not Korean names? by JorWat

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.
