Taichi Mukai → Mukai Taichi – English Wikipedia's current policy on Japanese names is to "Use the form personally or professionally used by the person, if available in the English/Latin alphabet".

On his website where his name is written with Roman characters it is ordered as "Mukai Taichi".

The few times it is written in Roman characters on the covers of his own music releases it is ordered as "Mukai Taichi".

The URLs of those sources have "taichimukai" in them, but the policy specifically instructs to "not rely on a URL".

See this discussion explaining the justification for titling Utada Hikaru with the family name first for a similar case. Tempjrds (talk) 07:45, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mukai Taichi → Taichi Mukai – MOS:JAPAN policy on using Western name order not withstanding, subject uses Western name order in English-language publications such as Billboard (link) and Fred Perry (link). His social media accounts like SoundCloud (link) and Instagram (link) also uses Western name order when listing his name in English. lullabying (talk) 16:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The article was moved from "Taichi Mukai" to "Mukai Taichi" based on a single vote (see just above). The current article's title is just confusing to a Westerner. As far as I can remember, Shinzo Abe, too, wanted to be called Abe Shinzo in English. But no one cared, the media continued calling him Shinzo Abe. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:32, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
