Name
His websites and covers say "Tatuya" instead of "Tatsuya", so shouldn't the spelling be changed accordingly? [1] [2] --Lambchopsuey 13:12, 27 April 2010 (CDT)
- This is a common Japanese romanization, but not in Western romanization. It's because when you type つ, it's faster to type "tu" as opposed to "tsu." I've noticed when I romanize things I catch myself doing it as well. I nominate it stays. We typically go off what gets more Google hits, at least at the old Wiki. Tatsuya pulls up 800k more results than Tatuya. (I still say we do this for Hirakawachi, but that seems to be an old argument.) ~ Wapiko 13:46, 27 April 2010 (CDT)
- Well, we do have pages that use the official romanization, like Kitano Kie and Siori. --Lambchopsuey 14:02, 27 April 2010 (CDT)
