@check translation
My last name is Ikeda and my first name is Kazuko. ?
I thought when you say "Ikeda is my last name, and Kazuko is my first name", the addressee already knows that your name is Ikeda Kazuko.
For example ...
My name is Ikeda Kazuko. Ikeda is my last name, and Kazuko is my first name.
or
"So your name is Ikeda Kazuko." "Yes." "Which is your last name?" "Ikeda is my last name, and Kazuko is my first name."
In these cases, "Ikeda" and "Kazuko" are old information. The new information is which one is the last name and which one is the first name. That would match
池田が姓で和子が名です。
池田が名字で、和子が名前です。
"姓は池田、名は和子。" sounds like you're saying for the first time that your name is Ikeda Kazuko in a first-person novel or something. Does it really match "Ikeda is my last name, and Kazuko is my first name"?
