How to address a person

In general, add "san" after one's family name.

"san" is like Mr., Mrs., or Miss..

For example, Mr. Tanaka is Tanaka-san. But for foreigners (westerners), people add san after the first names such as Paul-san or Kate-san.

Except for the close relationships, people address almost anybody with san.

Hello, Mr. Tanaka.

Tanaka-san, konnichiwa.
