I am wondering why these strange entry exist.  Are they mistake of
original data entry?  I never see Japanese name spelled that way.

 Shuzo Hatta    (Most common, Passport)
 Hatta, Shuzo   (Many government forms, Some achademic paper)
 Hatta Shuzo    (If you are historical figure or famous leterature writer)
 
Where did these data originally taken?  Just curious.
