Arcology Expert Program: Created page with "{{Stub}} Full names in Japanese are always said with the family name (surname) first, personal/given name second. In most cases, one would address someone by their family name, even if they would call them by their personal name under the same circumstances in English.

[[Jordan Muraro|Mr. Muraro]], who is deeply familiar with Japanese/Renraku culture via his wife would refer to [[Shirayuri]] as Yoi-san if he knew her real name and would address [[KANZAKI Kazuki]] as Kanzaki-kun.

By contrast, Kazuki (if and when he decides to speak) is likely to call her Yoi-chan, but will almost certainly address Mr. Muraro as Muraro-sama.
