In Japanese, yes, but he is involved in a worldwide sport whose lingua franca is English, so most media references to him worldwide use the English name order (forename + family name), which in accordence with Wikipedia:COMMONNAME is used in this English language Wikipedia. The same convention is used for all other Japanese motorcycle racing participants that I have encountered. {The poster formerly known as 87.981.230.195} 2.122.2.132 (talk) 04:27, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honda Team Asia (and Idemitsu)

[edit]

Various references in Wikipedia (e.g. in Dimas Ekky Pratama) and other online sources suggest that Hiroshi Aoyama is currently in charge of the Honda Team Asia racing team (sponsored by Idemitsu), who currently compete in Moto 2 as IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia.

There is no mention of this in his article here, even though the entry for "IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia" in that last-linked article's Teams and riders table actually links here.

Moreover, there is no mention in the Idumitsu article's Advertisement and sponsorship section of their motorcycle racing sponsorships (they also sponsor the LCR Honda MotoGP rider Takaaka Nakagami, as indicated in the 2019 MotoGP season's Teams and riders table).
