In this case, "tokugawa" (Tokugawa, TOKUGAWA) is surname. Therefore,
this is consistent with my usage. And, the intension of the statistics
is just the order of surname-givenname or givenname-surname, *not*
UPPERCASE or Lowercase.
Do you still try to force me not to use UPPERCASE surname, though
I said I don't care how other people write my name? I don't like
flamewar. I just want you not to join Japanese people's flamewar
which continues about 10 years.
