Do you use a hyphen before San in Japanese?

You don't use a hyphen before "San" in Japanese.

"San" is a Japanese honorific title that is used after a person's name. It is similar to "Mr.", "Ms.", or "Mrs." in English.

For example, you would say:

* 田中さん (Tanaka-san), meaning "Mr./Ms. Tanaka"

* 佐藤さん (Satō-san), meaning "Mr./Ms. Satō"

The honorific "San" is always written separately from the name.
