So, I'm confused. The Persona Wiki, Wikipedia and Giant Bomb claim his name, from the manga, is Souji Seta. When you're asked for the main character's name, the game demands the last name before his first. That makes sense, seeing as it's a Japanese game, however if I want to just go with the default, manga name, is it 'Last: Seta, First: Souji'? 
 
Doing a Wikipedia search for the Persona 3 protagonist, it lists Arisato Minato followed by Yukari Takeba, which confuses me as I was under the impression that Minato is the male protagonist's first name, and Takeba is the girl's last name. In Persona 3 Portable, I called my character Minato Arisato. 
  
Can anyone clear this up for me? It's a little annoying since I just want to get started on Persona 4!

I did see another thread on this when I searched, but the answers where somewhat minimal and searching through pages of possible spoilers to possibly find a good answer seemed like a bad idea for a game I haven't even started.  
  
Conclusion: 'Last: Seta, First: Souji' and 'Last: Arisato, First: Minato'. 

it's Japanese

In Japan it is traditional to list a person's family name first. 
 
EDIT: Souji is his first name. I think.

I believe that wikipedia has been a tad confusing here, I always thought that the persona 3 main character's first name was Arisato and Last name was minato, and I believe that the persona 4 main characters First name is indeed souji with seta has his first name. And wow didn't think that anyone else actually used canon names except me.

His name is Charlie Tunoku.  Tunoku is his last name and Charlie is his first name.
 
Serious answer though, I think Seta is his last name and Souji is his first name.

It's not just a Japanese thing.  It is an Asian thing in general, as your family name is considered more important than your given name.

Persona 3: Protagonist - Last Name: Arisato / First Name: Minato
Persona 4  Protagonist - Last Name: Seta / First Name: Souji

Fixed.

Wikipedia editors write Japanese names family name first.  Other western media, such as Giant Bomb and Atlus's own localizations display given name first.

" @Bocam:  @kingzetta:  @Underachiever007: Thanks for the link, but I already know about name order. What confuses me is that there are multiple sources with somewhat mixed information, and it's confusing me as to what the character's first name really is. "

Here is the Persona 4 Manga.  The first link has the Page where Souji introduces himself.  The second where Chie introduces herself.  This is will probably confirm the correct order for you.

Okay, so if I'm understanding this correctly, they're 'Last: Seta, First: Souji' and 'Last: Arisato, First: Minato'. 
 
I appreciate the responses. Thanks for the help, guys. 
 
@Random88: Simple answers with links! :D

The main character's name is actually Charlie Tunoku. Don't be fooled by any of these lies.

" His name is Charlie Tunoku.  Tunoku is his last name and Charlie is his first name. 

His name is Charlie Tunoku. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. A FILTHY LIAR!

Just wanted to point out, it's the same in Chinese. Your family name comes before your first name. I think it's the same in Korean.
