In Japan, how would you address two brothers if they were in the same room?


Travel Info
I know that in Japan, you usually address someone you don't know too well as their family name plus -kun if they are at school but if there are brothers in the same club, would one be say Fuji-kun and the other be addressed by first name plus -kun or would they both be called by their first names?

Travel Tips
The standard way would probably be to use the first name, but there are some possible variations. One is to use sirname plus Ani (big brother) for one, and sirname plus Ototo (little brother) for the other. This is informal, but both teachers and fellow students can do this in everyday school life
(Sportscasters sometimes do this, too if there are two brothers on a same team - like 'there goes Matsui ototo...").

They can also use the sirname plus a part of the first name, or call one or both by nicknames. Source(s): I'm Japanese.
Other Travel Tips
Both by their first names probably,hope there is a Japanese person on line that can answer this for you.
just call them ping and pong its easier haha

What you're looking for is 鍏勩仌銈?(niisan) or the polite 銇婂厔銇曘倱 (oniisan).
The "san" ending is the most common, "chan" is cutey and very familiar, and "sama" is extremely polite (useful if your brother is a god).
one at a time. And you needn't shout too loud if you're all in the same room but as you are in japan try doing it in japanese.
Personally, I'd prefer two sisters in the same room.
