How do I submit a correction for somebody else's name?
Hi,
How do I submit a correction for somebody else's name?
What kind of evidence would be acceptable?
I submitted a link to Wikipedia thinking it would be enough but it was rejected.
It is a Japanese name, so the credits would show "Last name - First name".

Hi @Jimmi1996 -
For eastern names it should actually be First name, Last name. Current formatting is correct from what I see (you can confirm what is the last name just in case). Follow our help guides for more.
Cheers!

Avoid Wikipedia links as it's likely a red flag for IMDb.
If credits show Kore-eda first that seems to be a point in favor of doing the same at IMDb. I noticed that Cannes seems to prefer it too.

Hello jonnie_d5di77u27ewrv,
As mentioned in our Help Articles our submission system will change it so that it is properly stored and displayed. And in the title pages will appear in the correct format as expected. The name page is correct in the name page.

I am sorry, but I do not understand your message.
I also do not understand the relevance of the link you posted.

Hi, Jimmi. You bringing this up is much appreciated. Thank you. There was an earlier discussion about how Chinese, Korean and Japanese full-names are to be presented on IMDb, and there is a complication or two due in part to the technical limitations of the database. The rest has to do with the fact that Japanese full-names, when and only when transliterated into Latin alphabet form (possibly other alphabets as well), are supposed to be presented with the given name preceding the family name, contrary to what is done with Chinese and Korean full-names. However, IMDb doesn't follow this convention, and instead aims to present Chinese, Korean and Japanese full-names in the same ordering whereby family name precedes given name.
