name romanization[edit]

A recent edit by Special:Contributions/2620:132:B042:0:B89B:C912:C716:88BB changed the romanized given name of this person to 'Hirotsugu' instead of 'Hirotugu'. Looking at the IPA pronunciation it seems more sensible to spell the name that way as well. Is there a reason why its not spelled like that?

(NB: There are more places in the article where the name would have to be changed.) Lokfahrer (talk) 14:48, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lokfahrer: It is spelled "Hirotugu" in all the sources cited on this page, so per WP:UE it should stay that way unless there are other English language sources that spell it differently. Yeeno (talk) 23:03, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
