I acquired the Ranma 1/2 Memorial Book at A-kon.  It's mostly in
Japanese, of course, but there are a few parts in English.

Do you know how it spells Ukyo?  "Ukyo."

Do you know how it spells Ryoga?  "Ryoga."

Do you know how it spells Tendo?  "Tendo."

Does this make those spellings (instead of "Ukyou", "Ryouga", and
"Tendou") the Official Romanization of those names?

No more than the Bubblegum Crisis episode 1 makes the official version of
Sylia's name "Silia"

"Well, they are lucky.  Let them be
 nine-lived and contradictory,
 curious enough to change, prepared to pay
 the cat price, which is to die
 and die again and again,
 each time with no less pain.
 A cat minority of one
 is all that can be counted on
 to tell the truth.  And what cats have to tell
 on each return from hell
 is this: that dying is what the living do,
 that dying is what the loving do,
 and that dead dogs are those who do not know
 that dying is what, to live, each has to do."
