Remember the Karate Kid? Mr. MIYOUJI always made Daniel call him by his SURNAME. (His first name was “Mister” which is kind of funny.) One time Daniel said “Hey Mister, why am I washing your car so much? It’s not even dirty.” Mr MIYOUJI got angry, but calmly said "Mr. MIYOUJI, Mr. MIYOUJI, MR. MIYOUJI! You can only use my SURNAME!’ Then Daniel had to paint the fence for 3 hours and wash the car again. Poor Daniel. Why didn’t he use Mr MIYOUJI’s SURNAME?

(It’s true that Mr. Miyouji went by the alias Mr. Miyagi, but try to forget that. His real name was Mr. Miyouji)

Just make sure you don’t end up accidentally writing みようじ instead of みょうじ
