Hmmm ...

I will allow that to have some veracity, anyway.

However, the translators that commonly move these over into English make judgement calls regarding nomenclature and phoneticism of their own account. While it would appear that your translation is, indeed, more faithful to the Japanese, our current translators that work with the scanners have thus far been accepted as factual.

While I applaud your bilinguism and attentiveness, I 'm afraid we ought to go with scanlation choice of words here, or else you would have to go through and retranslate all the information we have from the manga throughout the wiki for consistency's sake.

We cannot only have choice bits changed from the translations we unilingual folk have to fall back on, because that presents inconsistencies of a whole other sort. If it was a mistranslation, it was, at the very least, a repeated one: these characters were always referred to with the mistranslated names, not just the one time. However, the point remains that it may still be a mistranslation. So, it is your call to either retranslate everything in this wiki derived from the manga or else simply change these pages back. You could still mention their "actual" names in the opening paragraph or perhaps in a trivia stub, but I must insist consistency reign.

As I lack both the authority and the seniority to make such a call, myself, I will put it in your hands, Amimae, as you have been the one to present the indescrepancy in translation.

Either you have these pages changed back to what they were and move this information into a trivia stub or something or you go and give the rest of the entries with information from the manga a similar treatment of retranslation.
