For those who use the macron vowels:For some reason,not all web browsers support them.Besides,"Houko" does seem to be the most common Romanization of her first name...Ranma9617 03:51, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I agree. Most of the websites I have been have her name as "Houko", and wikipedia seems to be the only one that places her name with the macron. I think since Houko is the more common romanization, we should move this page back to Houko Kuwashima. After all, Wikipedia naming conventions on Japanese names states that if there is any common romanization of any Japanese name that doesn't include any macrons, the article should be under that name.

- Plus, in Google there are only 439 searches for Hōko Kuwashima, 958 searches for Hoko Kuwashima, and 78,500 for Houko Kuwashima. DivineLady 13:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. When you do a Google search for most of the people here in Wikipedia, it also commonly returns the un-macroned ones. And, macrons are in common fonts (Arial has it, Tahoma has it, etc.), so there is no reason for a web browser not to support them (unless it is not popular, that is). I suggest you guys to follow MOS and move back to Hōko Kuwashima. --Chininazu12 08:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
