One would imagine that such an enthusiast for things Japanese would know the conventions of Japanese names, which, as I understand it, put surname before "first" name. Therefore, the author of this work is known as "Shiba Ryotaro" in Japan but would be called "Ryotaro Shiba" in English-speakers' practice. Seeing the author referred to by his first name throughout the review is disconcerting, though Mr. Shiba might not have cared a bit.
