Discussion-  
Names
It is well known that in English, names are first name first, then middle, then last name.  And in most cases, only first and last names are used. In many asian countries, the family-name-first pattern is the custom.  
Name Card Culture
In the USA, exchanging name, or business, cards, is important, but much more casual than in Japan. Giving and taking the card with one hand and then putting it in your shirt or jacket pocket is very acceptable. But in Japan, giving and taking the name card is done with BOTH hands. And during a meeting, place the card in front of you face-up on the table.
In the USA, business is often done on a first-name basis. It is nice to ask someone to call you by your first name, "Please call me Bill."  But in Japan, business, not only the first time but after many years, is conducted using only the family, or last, name.
