So people with names that have no kanji and with a middle names are apt to be confused.

If you didn’t know…most Japanese people go by their last name. So, it’s strange to me that you could not write your last name first, your first name next and your middle name last.

However, one rule of thumb for a person with an English name, when the application, or whatever it is, that you’re filling out does not specify the place where you write your first name, middle name and last name, and has one long box for you to put your name in; just write your full name as you would in English. That goes: first name, middle name and then last name and put dots in between to distinguish where each name ends and the next begins.

Also, when in doubt, please ask the bank teller, or store attendant, or whoever it is that is giving you the application!!!! They will kindly tell you what to do. Don’t be shy!!

As a foreigner, you will feel like an idiot most of the time anyways, so JUST ASK!!!
