Reply to comment by Kzickas in ELI5: Why do English speakers switch Japanese names to have the family name last, but not Korean names? by JorWat
It's still inconsistent. Take MLB phenom (and MVP of the 2023 World Baseball Classic) Shohei Ohtani for example. The family name is Ohtani, but in the MLB his name is westernized. As is every other Japanese (and Korean) player signed to the MLB.
