"Kira Yoshinaka," while being a direct transliteration of 吉良義央, maintains the Japanese tradition of family-name-first. I think that it, and the other names in the article, should be changed to fit the English format, as this is an English-language article, e.g., "Yoshinaka Kira," with the family name second. I, however, realize that it is a simple formatting issue, so didn't want to change it right off.
I do, however, believe that it would be misleading to any English speaking people who were to read the article, unaware of the Japanese format.
So change, or no?
