The rules for Japanese honorifics are not the same as in the west. You just can't go round calling yourself X-san, particulatly NOT in polite or regular company. Most Japanese find it offensive and egotistical. Even in the height of my OMG IM MOVING TO JAPAN AND BECOMING A VIDEOGAME ARTIST SO KAWAII stage I knew that. In anime and other forms of Japanese entertainment it's used to make a character sound egotistical/cute etc.

tl;dr, it may be acceptable if you're cosplaying, say, Prussia (ore-sama), but not when speaking in public to a real Japanese.

And yes the title is a joke.
