As my Japanese native speaker/translator always said, they aren't needed. Better to use them sparingly when they have an effect like when Kasuga Kyosuke says Ayukawa-kun in a later ep of KOR. We do put them in for strange things like in a shortening of a name like if they called Ryosuke in Initial D Ryo-chan, we'd use them. But to each his own.
