Name Orders

The Western naming order is preferred over the Eastern order.

This means that forenames will precede surnames.

Examples

Mantaro Kinniku > Kinniku Mantaro
Meat Alexandria > Alexandria Meat
Mari Nikaido > Nikaido Mari

Spellings

The spellings given by Yudetamago are considered canon and must be used.

Examples

Chojin (not "choujin")
Ashuraman (not "Asuraman")
Ilioukhine (not other variations)

Manga over Anime

This is because some names are changed in the English dub, as well as some names were changed for the original anime, and this may lead to confusion, such as for example "Kid" referring to both Terry the Kid and Mantaro Kinniku. We also have a wiki policy of canon-only content, with the manga being considered canon.

Examples

Wolfman will be named 'Wolfman' and not 'Rikishiman', as 'Wolfman' is his manga name.

Geronimo will be named 'Geronimo' and not 'Beetlebomb', as 'Geronimo' is his manga name.

Both 'Rikishiman' and 'Beetlebomb' would respectively redirect to 'Wolfman' and 'Geronimo'.

English over Japanese

These were for two reasons: clarity (for users) and consistency (for ease of search).

Examples

Devil > Akuma
Justice > Seigi
Brutal >Zangyaku
Time > Jikan
General Devil > Akuma Shogun
