I know I can easily PM you these questions but I thought I'd post them here in case people might be wondering the same thing. XD I'm not used to seeing 'Last Name's First'. Was there a specific reason for that or was that to just be unique? Just curious. I'm asking because I wonder if it has to do with the Japanese culture?

Hm, I thought I explained this in the thread about the names. xD Sorry, I must have overlooked.
Last Names first is Japanese custom. =] And not just Japanese, but many other Asian cultures do it too -- it emphasizes that you are first a part of your family before you are yourself. It shows your family ties, and your lineage. If you read the original scans, the kanji/hiragana for their names show "Sohma", "Honda", etc first. =]
