Hmm, I usually write my name as "Jun Kuriyama" in English.  In
Japanese, order of names is family name and given name, so someone
like to order as "Kuriyama Jun" in English.  But this would be
confusing for English speaker which is the family name.  Then, someone
like to spell ones name as "KURIYAMA Jun" to emphasis family name.

I'm not sure which should be used, but I prefer my style. :-)
