Why is calling people by their first name in Japan is a sign of closeness? Anyone know the history or reason for this?

Why is calling people by their first name in Japan is a sign of closeness? Anyone know the history or reason for this?

Largely, it's just a matter of being polite; in Japanese society, using a person's given name (technically not first name, since Japanese names are more originally ordered family name -> given name; i.e., the FMC here is Haimiya Mio) implies a certain level of closeness.

In the West, it'd be akin to calling someone by a nickname, especially among opposite gender pairings; for instance (and I apologize for assuming a male perspective here), let's say you have a classmate named Victoria, who you don't really know and only ever really speak to in passing. What kind of reaction do you think you'd get if you just randomly came up to her one day and started addressing her as "Vicky"?

It's essentially the same thing with given names in Japan, so you don't use them unless the person allows it; manga and anime tend to exaggerate the more romantic connotations of it because, ya know, high school rom coms.

She is the most precious thing I've seen since The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses ended and she must be protected at all costs.

If I understand my Japanese manga/anime culture correctly, calling her by her given name means she can't get married anymore and he'll need to take responsibility.

 

[bluenorvo]

C-chan-Mio?

 

[Lunkli]

Actually, cockcruncher2000 was mistaken here; her name's not actually Mio. She's just a big K-ON fan and runs a roleplay account which she forgot she was signed into when they did the QR contact exchange thing. That's why she's embarrassed.

Ahh yes, the blush of a pure maiden in love. We have hit diamonds peeps.
