- In Japanese business settings, a person named Perez would be addressed as ペレスさん ('Perez-san') to show respect, regardless of whether they are Japanese or foreign.
- Because Japanese lacks a standalone 's' sound at the end of words, ペレス adds a vowel to create peresu, making the name sound like it has three syllables instead of two.
