Romaji Name Order

Where Japanese names are inputted in Japanese as LAST FIRST, we change the order to FIRST LAST for the romaji version of the name.

Japanese: 泉　こなた　(いずみ　こなた） (Izumi Konata)
Romaji: Konata Izumi

For long vowels we use:

• ū | uu
• ō | ou
• ī | ii
• ē | ee
• ā | aa

While I prefer to use letter for letter the exact Japanese, in cases where the name has been translated to something different, we will defer to whatever is in common usage. Alternate ways of writing the name can be added as Aliases.

ホロ / Horo / Holo
