question
colloquial-language
Do Japanese people introduce themselves with the last name used first?
Do you mean the order of the first name and last name in Japanese names?

If that's what you mean then Yes, last names come before first names in
Japanese, which is similar to many other Asian names. So we have, for example:
高橋 直希 - Takahashi Naoki Where Takahashi is the last name, and Naoki is the
first name.

However, when Japanese introduce themselves to foreigners, it will be likely
that they introduce their name in Western style (by putting their last name
behind, making it Naoki Takahashi).

Therefore, I think you should not assume that the name coming first is always
the last name. It is better if you learn and know common/popular Japanese last
names so you won't be confused when they introduce themselves in either way.
