If I understand the question correctly, here's three:

Kenichi Handa -> Handa [surname] Ken'ichi [given name]
Seokchan Lee -> Lee [surname] Seokchan [given name]
Enami Tsugutomo -> Tsugutomo [surname] Enami [given name] 

My guess is that the order you have them in now (given name followed
by surname) is the order that these gentlemen use for international
purposes. 

And, because I know ding members want to know but are too shy to ask,
a one sentence guide to Japanese pronunciation:

Pronounce every syllable in a word with equal stress in a light
staccato manner, the long vowels as two vowels, and double consonants
with a pause in between.
