'First' and 'Last' names are different in Japanese, where the family name comes before the given name. Koda (倖田) comes first, and is her family name while Kumiko (來未子), her given name comes after. Some westerners call her "Kumi Koda" but this is incorrect.

She goes by Koda Kumi (倖田 來未) on stage but Koda Kumiko (倖田 來未子) is her full name. Many of her fans call her Kuu.
