Using "too" instead of "toh" is now the fashionable way to transliterate とう, so a lot of other "oh"s have also changed. They change her name so they can have all names transliterated in the same manner.

You could tell them the "oh" to "oo" rule should apply only to おう and transliterating おお as 'oh' makes sense since it emphasizes the difference in original spelling.

The thing is it's the creators/copyright holders of the characters who decide what a character's name is and how to spell it, no one else. If they decide to spell the character's name with numbers in it that's for them to decide.
If someone has an issue with the way in which Key Visual Arts decide to spell the name of their characters they should take it up with them, and not take it upon themselves to change details about the character to suit their own personal preferences.
The only reason they're able to get away with this is because few people are gonna call them on this shit. It's like deciding you don't like the way Sony is spelt so you change it to sonie, People would tell you how stupid that is in a heart beat. Not that it's something anyone with half a brain would do because it's retarded and 'most' people are self aware enough to understand they have absolutely no say at all in the matter. You might as well list fan fiction as being cannon while you're at it.

I'd love to blow this up if that's what it takes to fix the problem. Type moon fans would be more likely to do something about this than the key crowd I would think. and yeah boycotting the services would mean nothing.

My waifu's name ends with "o" on Japanese sites and on merch, but every Western source changes it to "ou"

It's just one of those things I guess, I don't know why people have such a problem leaving something the way the creators decided to spell it in English.

ugly romanizations piss me off too. just be glad you don't like korean culture, if you don't know hangul the romanizations are pretty much worthless. except for words like "kimchi" and "ramyun"

But in this case the ugly romanization is nihon-shiki, not hepburn.

That romanisation also pisses me off. Its an 'oh' sound, it should be romanised as oh or ou, not oo. oo in the english langauge never makes an oh sound, its always an oo as in cook.

>>19313
That's because english phonology is a mess and thus should not be used as a standard to romanize other languages. In every other western language "oo" makes sense.

The only naming issues I've had with the Boorus is when characters don't have separate tags.

Kagura isn't an uncommon name, there are even others like her that have Kagura as a surname and no first name, like Kagura from Gintama. It's a little annoying seeing characters that aren't her just because things aren't tagged properly.

I know I can easily get around this by searching "azumanga_daioh" as well as her name, but it does mean that sometimes the number shown for the amount of pictures she has is inaccurate.

Best of luck on your renaming quest, Tohno.
