    I can't seem to find where the 'san' part is. The official credits for the game must be referring to her wrong then I suppose. Damn those incorrect credits!!! *shakes fist at the sky*

    Yeah , see, theres you, and then theres my native speaking Japanese teacher at a famous Australian university.

    Which one do YOU think i should listen to?

    And then theres this this:

    https://90dayjapanese.com/japanese-name/

    Also, as you may already know, the surname always precedes the given name when addressing someone’s name in Japanese.
    and here

    Japanese naming conventions arrange names as follows: [FAMILY NAME] [given name]. For example, YAMAMOTO Yukio (male) and SATŌ Akari (female).
    The family name (known as ‘myouji’ or ‘ue no namae’) is inherited patrilineally from one’s father and shared with other siblings. It always comes before the given name.
    The given name (known as ‘shita no namae’) is chosen at birth as the individual’s personal identifier.
    Why would you use Japanese name order in a different language? All it does is create confusion about which is her first name/surname imo.
    Because its the correct usage?

    When you look at credits for something in English, do you look for Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. in front of every name? Because that's what -san is.
