Wikipedia rule about Kabuki actors name order ?

edit

In the introductory paragraph there is this quote: [1]

The quote has no sense since it is associated with the civil name and not the artist name, also the actor himself uses the western ordering when writing his name[2]. I'm therefore updating text to write the actor name in the western order and let the usual Japanese names ordering show with the translation of the name written in Japanese.

Of course if this "ordering rule" for Kabuki actors is really something (where?) that's what we should use as a reference. I would challenge it given the behavior of the actor themselves on the ground of readability and consistency. Slb 13:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
