The Order of Introductions

Japanese business manners fix who is introduced to whom first. The person closer to oneself comes first: Jisha no hito to okyakusama nara, ika naru toki demo jisha no hito ga saki desu. Between one’s own colleague and a client, one’s own colleague is always introduced first.

Between people of the same closeness, position, title and age decide. The person of lower standing is introduced first.
