Because name order is dependent on the language. Keeping it the same would make no sense gramatically. It would be implying that a characters surname is their given name, which makes no sense since the names are only flipped.

I already use the eastern name order every day.
You must me stupid if you can't convert the real one in your head.

You argument makes no logical sense. Name order has nothing to do with grammar you illiterate, dumb fuck.

Do nips keep the name order when they translate western stuff to Japanese?

>>156829078
This is not true. It's dependant on the culture of a society.

Underwater did it, if you're so instant on that style. Plus they have amazing typesetting.

Because eastern cultures vslalue families and bloodlines, so they put surname first
Whereas the west values individuality so that comes first

Then why do you watch anime in English instead of whatever your native language is?

>>156829231
No, they don't.

But it's an Eastern story, so the values of the author should carry over, otherwise you risk breaking the narrative.

>>156828536
Isn't that happening more or less arbitrarily?
Some translators prefer the Western name order, others prefer the original name order.

The only thing I wonder about is how many people think "Misaka" is Mikoto's first name.

>>156828536
Just learn the fucking language instead of complaining about the purity of your translations

But we don't change Chinese names, Korean names, or even Vietnamese name order.

>Xi Jinping
>Kim Il Sung
>Hu Jintao
>Yi Sun-sin
>Mao Zedong
>Ho Chi Minh
>Ban Ki-Moon
>Zhuge Liang

Hell, we don't even switch historical Japanese names like Oda Nobunaga or Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Usually western name order is used for Western names. Unless it needs to conform to the Eastern order for a standard document.
