I wish that my name will be displayed the family name first and the given name second as the Japanese name is usually displayed. I wish that any help will be given on the above wish. Thank you.

In 'Address Book' to show all contacts by family name: 'View' > 'Show name as ' > select 'Last,First'

If you want the 'display name' which you see in the emails eg: TO or 'From' field just before the actual email address to do the same, this can be set up for each contact. In Address Book, double click on contact in list to open an Edit Contact window. In 'Display' type name as you wish to appear for example for person called John Wayne you could type: Wayne, John Select checkbox 'Always prefer display name over message header' click on 'OK'
