Why Hiruzen is called as sarutobi ? His name is hiruzen so he should be called Hiruzen.I know his clan is sarutobi. Hiruzen is the only one character in naruto anime called in the name of clan instead of roiginal name

It's a respect and formal thing to call someone by there first name. Also, the Japanese arrangement of names is Family name - Given name eg: Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke

^^your answer... except hiruzen is his first name and its respectful to call them by their last... thust uzumaki, uchiha, sarutobi... and he was the eldest of his clan, and the highest of peers, thus sarutobi sensei... also that for students of his but his social rank also gives him this title...

I think it's probably because he was the Hokage for such a long time, so he probably never got called by his first name.

Has no one ever referred to by your last name?

It's fairly common.

I get called by my last name sometimes too. Regardless, his name is Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're still referring to him by name either way.

what about uchiha itachi, uchiha sasuke, uchiha madara (actually all of the uchiha's)so hiruzen is not the only one, see even the main character is called uzumaki naruto. basically its what SHINTA said.
