[NOTICE] Change in Name Order Format

Thank you for always visiting MCZ TODAY.

Until now, this site has followed long-standing conventions and international standards by presenting Japanese names in the given name-family name order. Example: Kanako Momota

However, starting January 1, 2020, the Japanese government officially began operating under the principle that Japanese names written in the Roman alphabet in official documents and on websites should, in principle, follow the family name-given name order. Now, six years later, passports also display names in the family name-given name order, and this order has become increasingly common on websites as well. Example: Momota Kanako

Therefore, in order to make it easier to maintain consistency with other news articles and related content, this site will change to the family name-given name order in future articles.

We understand that this may create inconsistencies with past articles, and we appreciate your understanding.
