Does this make those spellings (instead of "Ukyou", "Ryouga", and
"Tendou") the Official Romanization of those names?
No. Even though those are the romanizations that I use myself, there
is no, AFAIK, "official" romanization.
I should have clarified what I meant by "official".
At first, when writing my Nuku Nuku fanfics, I was going to name the boy
"Ryuunosuke". Then I saw in the anime that his name, romanized, was
spelled "Ryunosuke". That became the "official" romanization.
Also, I was going to use the Robotech version of Minmei's name, until I
saw that in Macross they romanized it "Minmay". That's how I spelled
the name of Nouma's apartment's computer.
In this context, "official" means, "precedent established in the source
material", i.e. the manga.
I realize that the Memorial Book is not "source material", but I thought
it was pretty close. :)
In fact, different departments within the Japanese government use
different rules of romanization, so there never will be an "official"
romanization of Japanese in general.
