Different passport names for children with dual citizenship

Question

I have a child who is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Japan.
I have been traveling back and forth between Hawaii and Japan with only an American passport, but because of this situation, I have now obtained a Japanese passport for the first time.

My friends told me that even if I buy a ticket under the name of my Japanese passport, I will return with an American passport on my return trip. However, when I went to the consulate to get my Japanese passport made, I was told that it was not a big difference and that I could not put the parentheses because it had to be consistent with my mother's gender, so I did not put them there.

Yes, there is not much difference, but it is not the same.

It is a pseudonym, but the sequence is like this

Japanese name
Last name Smith Yamada
Name Rachel Hanako

American name
Last name Smith
Name Rachel
Middle Hanako

I have emailed the airline I am using to see if this is correct, but I have not received any response, so I was wondering if anyone has a similar case?

Also, I have created a new account for my child with a Japanese name because the name of the mileage account is different from the previous one.

My son also holds both US and Japanese passports.
When returning home from Hawaii to Japan, he takes it in the name of his U.S. passport.

When returning from Japan, I submit both my Japanese and American passports at the counter of the airline company and both are checked.
I myself am a green card holder, so my green card will also be checked.
I have an alias,

Japanese First Name Last Name Japan
Name John Naoki

American First Name White
Name John
Middle Naoki

Plane is taken by White Naoki John, no problem.

When I asked to change the name of my frequent flyer account, I was told to use the same name as my passport, and I have been using the American name (without middle) without any problem. I don't know if it is possible to merge the two, but I was able to change it.

Dear nuiloamamamail
Thank you. I see. I thought that only Japanese passport holders can enter Japan now in Corona, so I bought a ticket with a Japanese passport name. So it is OK even if there are differences such as the order of names. I am relieved. Thank you very much.

By the way, when I travel to Japan, I have a negative certificate issued with my Japanese passport name and passport number, but when I return to Japan, I will be using my American passport. ？ I checked with the consulate, but they said they do not know.

When you leave the U.S., use your U.S. passport
When you return to Japan, use your Japanese passport.

On the way back to Japan, you leave Japan with a Japanese passport and enter Hawaii with an American passport. Negative proof was not yet required when my son went to Japan, so he was not tested in Hawaii, but when he returned to Hawaii from Japan, he was issued a negative proof with his US passport number.
But since he is entering Japan as a Japanese, it would be his Japanese passport number when he enters Japan.

I am looking forward to going to Japan. I am looking forward to seeing you in Japan.

Dear nuiloamama
Thank you. I received a response from the airline regarding the negative certificate. They are still going to issue a certificate for the return trip to match the American passport. If it is different from the name on the ticket, they will change the return ticket to the American name after arriving in Japan. I am not sure about other airlines, but that is the answer I received.
