If you didn't know him well, you'd address him as * YAMAMOTO-san. If you did know him well, you might be able to address * him as hisashi-san. I do know that adressing him w/o the -san is an * extreme insult. It's not an "extreme insult", it's just considered rude. It's ok to do that if you know the person well and/or *he* is your subordinate/junior. (It's almost never ok to do that if you are talking to a woman - it's better to always use "-san".) By the way, my family name is Asami, but I don't mind being called Satoshi-san or even Mr. Satoshi. But it might get confusing with Taoka-san also on the ports list. :) Satoshi A. P.S. If a Japanese spells his/her name "Foo Bar", then you can pretty much assume "Bar" is the Family name. When the family name comes first, it will be in in all caps or at least have a comma.
