The Use Of "san" in Japanese

The Japanese use -san when calling other people, the meaning is close to “Mister” “mistress” or “Miss”. The placement of san are at the end of the name and can be used both of which the last name and first name. Using the word san would sound polite than just a name. There are several forms of -san more politely and more used to like:
Kun : not used in formal situations,kun used on young men who had known each other
chan : commonly used among child to child, or adult to child
sensei : used when calling on teachers or lecturers
Important thing to know is do not use the word san when talking about yourself you or your family members.

Example:
"Kanzaki-san desu ka"
in English
"Are You Mr. Kanzaki? "

" Hajimemashite. Ryuki Raida desu "
in English
" How do are you? My name is Rider Ryuki "
