Japanese names
Not exactly sure who this is relevant to but it always gets to me when I read fics for anime and people get the name order wrong. This is all coming from a Japanese person btw.
So unlike English where its “first name” “last name” its the opposite, so your family name comes first. So it tends to be more formal to call people by their family name but that doesn’t mean that thats always the case. Until the end of middle school, basically no one refers to you as your family name unless its during role call or someone's personal preference. When you get to high school, it becomes slightly more normal but most people stick to second name basis.
In a fic I’m reading rn (its a bsd fic) - every time the characters have an angsty moment, they call each other their last name (i’m sure its coz the author thought it was the other way around and got it mixed up) but if using the name Osamu Dazai as an example- Dazai is his personal name- therefore calling him Osamu is less personal, and much more on the formal interaction side.
As for anime such as haikyuu, I still wonder why they have people in the same age category calling each other by their family name but I suppose its plausible. But how the third years talk to each other, for example Suga referring to Daichi as his family name in front of younger members then his second name when its just the three of them (Suga, Daichi and Asahi), which is what our senior vb members are like.
As for people who want to use terms suffixes end thingys like “chan” (which is pronounced ch-u-n btw) and “Kun” (k-n).....just don’t-. It comes off as kinda cringe especially when used wrong but if u rlly must- here’s how u should use it.
Stereotypically chan is for little girls and kun is for boys. Chan can still be used for girls when they’re older but boys typically dislike being called X-Kun past the age of like 10. Chan can also be used for boys and I’m sure if you’ve watched anime before you’ve heard the term “onii-chan” which means older brother in a cutesy, childish sort of way but isn’t exclusive to your actual older brother. For example you can use it for any male figure a couple years older than you who is close to you, older siblings of friends, and cousins. When attaching chan onto someone's name, the actual name typically gets shortened, like in Haikyuu when Hinata’s middle school friends greet him they call him “Sho-chan” instead of “Shouyo-Chan” another example is my older cousin; his name goes from Akihito to Akii-nii-chan. Same with one-chan, but names tend to get shortened less.
Senpai is also a term that gets used way less than you’d think, so don’t over use that one either. The most I’ve ever heard it get used is teachers referring to older students who may be able to help us with something.
“See if your senpai can help you with this”.
Anyways, hope this helped!

¡Continuamos con nuestro paseo por Kamakura!
Si por casualidad llegas aquí de primeras, pulsando aquí podrás leer la anterior parte de la guía.
Y aquí está el mapa con todos los sitios de interés.
Nos quedamos en el santuario de Tsurugaoka, iniciando nuestro camino para ir a almorzar. Salimos de allí, esta vez por la avenida principal, para así poder ver otra parte de la ciudad.
Y nos topamos con una tienda de bolsos con un nombre estupendo.
