Mitsuhiko is extremely polite; and as he's Japanese, that means a noted use of particular honorifics. That said, the mun knows full well that there are many players who get peeved about people who use honorifics in their tags, and that's what this post is here for!
Simply place a comment here stating what you would prefer Mitsuhiko's tags be formatted with, and I will take personal note with every tag! The options are the following:
Standard Honorifics; for the most part, this means 'san' for girls his age and older, as well as most adults. Unfamiliar adults in particular are generally 'Oji-san' (uncle) or 'Oba-san' (aunt) if they're old enough, but since Mitsuhiko knows by this point that some women don't particularly like being called 'oba', he'll also default to 'san'. (He appears to only refer to his sister as 'oneesan'.) Complicated? There's more!
For boys his age, he would more likely use 'name-kun'! (He doesn't have an honorific for a nameless boy around his age! He just asks their name flat out if he needs.) Also, if a girl gives him permission, or he feels he's allowed, he'll refer to them as 'name-chan', as opposed to 'last name-san'.
English Honorifics; that means 'Mister', 'Miss', and etc. In this case, Mitsuhiko will use these as a stand in for the honorifics he would actually be using, generally referring to people older than him as 'Mr./Mrs/Miss Lastname'. He might use this same formula, but with the first name, when it comes to adults he knows better. Similarly, he could use 'miss' with girls closer to his age until he's told it's alright to just use the normal name.
No Honorifics! WOAH MAN YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE-- If you'd like, Mitsuhiko's tags can be devoid of honorifics altogether. His speech patterns would still have his politeness after all ('please', 'excuse-me', etc), so while the honorifics are gone, it isn't as though he's suddenly becoming rude.
