In Japanese, order of names is family name and given name, so someone like to order as "Kuriyama Jun" in English. But this would be confusing for English speaker which is the family name. Then, someone like to spell ones name as "KURIYAMA Jun" to emphasis family name. I'm not sure which should be used, but I prefer my style. :-) -- Jun Kuriyama // IMG SRC, Inc. // FreeBSD Project
