In Japan they find it respectful to call someone by their family name first then their given name.. Scince he is preforming for an Asian audience then that is why we call him Inoue Joe but if we Americans see him we would call him Joe Inoue.. I sure he would like any way really
in japanese (and many other asian nations), you write family name then given name for name order. So his north american first name is joe, and last name Inoue, but since he is going for japanese audience and is japanese puts his name in the traditional japanese order of Family name then given name: Inoue Joe :D
