Aramasa's name
Obviously, the man's name is Aramasa Taku. Equally obviously, other photographers include Domon Ken, Araki Nobuyoshi, and Moriyama Daidō. Just as the man whose face still appears in Beijing is Mao Zedong (and not Zedong Mao), and just as the beloved leader of the US is George W Bush (and not Bush George W), this man is Aramasa Taku and not Taku Aramasa.

However, dozens of editors on articles about Japan have decided that the expectations of readers of English-language newspapers must not be disturbed, so we have "Ken Domon", "Nobuyoshi Araki", and the rest. And "Taku Aramasa". See WP:MOSJ.

Personally, I think this is pretty stupid. If you do too, do please say so at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles): the more politely, the more persuasively. -- Hoary (talk) 10:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization
Whatever the order of his name, our man's surname is "Aramasa", not "ARAMASA". -- Hoary (talk) 10:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Please order lists from oldest to newest, not newest to oldest. Thank you. -- Hoary (talk) 10:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
