Servant of Evillious wrote: Gaou Octo changed his name to Octo Gaou and was made magistrate to rural Izasa apparently due to his lineage that the shogunate and its isolationist policy alienated. Would you say this is confirmation that Jakokuese characters are intended to have their names spelled with the surname first? If this is the case for the other characters in the novel, like the Mirokus or Sudous, I believe we should change them to match. We already should change the Octos past Gaou to match, given this.

Other cases of their names being given name first might just be because the "source" of their names was intended as "western" by mothy.
