It's also noteworthy that japanese people typically refer to themselves by their name,

Talking in third person in Japanese is no less unusual than doing so in English

uhm do you have a source of that because i've seen various evidence to the contrary.

I speak Japanese. You clearly do not. Edit: "no less unusual" is admittedly a slight overstatement. It is slightly more permissible to speak in third person in Japanese. Nevertheless it is false to say people GENERALLY talk in third person.
