Let's see... Masamune-dono, when referring to me in the context of an SCA
Court, or similar formal documents, might feel it appropriate to call me
Jaamido-sama; however, in the context of daily discourse Jaamido-san, is of
course, always correct. Jaamido-kun is to be avoided at all times, to save
me the expense and trouble of hiring a Ronin :)
I, of course, not being Japanese will continue to refer to you as Massa
Muni... :)
