Hakubi -> Habuki

    I'm not sure about this one. My DVD says it's 'Hakubi'....
Judges?

Err... bah, I see a ton of references to both spellings.  The Tenchi
Encyclopedia that I have on DVD doesn't say.  So, whatever.

I tried looking up both in a japanese/english dictionary, and only found
hakubi [(n) fine example; the best]; there was no entry for habuki.

And Washuu is exactly that, at least in her own opinion :)

I suspect the reason for the misspelling is because people think it
sounds similar to Hibiki :)
