Those Korean names aren't fixed yet right? If so I can change them directly, just give me the list of what to fix. And this goes for any inverted names, Korean or Japanese or other.

Done fixing all the names. I've also added a new report: Possibly inverted family names


Some Japanese names from the report's top entries:
For the calculation of the difference between surname appearances and given name appearances, the report should rather not count person entries without credits (and visualize them somehow differently in the report).

It might also be worth thinking about some flagging mechanism for "valid exceptions". "Sato" is a valid given name in a few cases; Kaneko IWASAKI is a valid exception of "Kaneko" normally being a surname.

This one is wrong, too:
Kuwata KONG, should be Kong KUWATA.

"コング 桑田" (Kong Kuwata) actually is a synonym of 桑田 敬信 (Kuwata ???, no reading given thus I can't add it as "Birth Name"), as per his Wikipedia page.

Yeah, Kuwata is his real surname.
