Characters should be referred to by their English names unless they do not have a currently known English name. Redirects from Japanese names should be created in order to alleviate confusion. When only a Japanese name is known, romanization must be consistent with ((Redirect:Japanese policy). For instance, the page [[Kasumi]] redirects to [[Misty]]. | |||
All modern persons should have their name given in Western order. Since the definition of "modern" may vary from culture to culture, for the Japanese, all names from the {{wp|Taishō period}} onwards should be given in Western order. Names from the {{wp|Meiji restoration}} may be given in Western or Eastern order – use prevailing convention on a person-by-person basis. Names prior to the Meiji restoration should be given in Eastern order. | All modern persons should have their name given in Western order.
