Ever since I saw Albert's name change, it's been bothering me that we may still have the spelling of several characters listed incorrectly. I've been researching and what I've learned is that the spelling of three Main Characters may be off. What you see below is the Japanese kanji with romanization per the website, "My Anime List." What strikes me is that, if you look closely, note that they romanize Kouki Miyata's name in the same manner we do, indicative of similar interp sources. MAL is a respected resource and although we initially agreed to accept FUNI's spelling, I'd rather be as true to Kyoani's version as possible, especially since we now know that FUNI may not be the best at romanization, considering how Albert's name was managed, among other titles and things (as you yourself have said, Fox).

I'm going to continue researching, but if anyone can find Kyoani's spelling of the "family names" on merch or CDs or in text, I believe we're obliged to use that spelling even it it's different than what we currently use or what fans find most familiar. We haven't let that stop us from using Japanese titles and punctuation for music titles in order to be more authentic and I think this is a similar matter. Personally, I have a feeling that the spelling you see below is the closest to Kyoani's version. I also beleive that the romanization of name kanji should be consistent for all names on the wiki. It seems a no-brainer, but we need to discuss, just the same.

What do all of you think?



MAL's spelling:

Hiyori Toono ( 遠野 日和 )

Rei Ryuugazaki ( 竜ヶ崎 怜 )

Sousuke Yamazaki ( 山崎 宗介 )
