Looks like Takara is calling this guy Ganoh. Seems like a valid romanization; should probably be our name. Yes? -LV 22:14, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

I concur. Much easier name to type without having to copy/paste the "ō" part. We can just have the "Gan'ō" Romanization in the parenthesis next to the Japanese letter spelling (like how we have for Go-Ganoh's Romanized name spelling). --Sabrblade 01:36, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
We don't follow the packaging spelling with the Dinoforce members, Shaoshao Li, or Shouki, though. You can also click on the ō in the bottom part of the editing interface, so copy/paste isn't entirely necessary. Mimi 08:06, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
Where on the packaging are the names of the Dinoforce or Shōki written in English? --Sabrblade 08:33, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
Their bio cards. Shouki (from the Zone release) and Goryu. And also on the box flaps on Victory toys, I think. Mimi 08:40, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
We also see they aren't consistent in romanizing the "ou" sound. Mimi 08:41, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
We don't all have native special character support on our keyboards for the search bar (though that shouldn't really be a problem). As a rule of thumb, we always go by the official name in the Latin alphabet when provided, unless transliteration errors are really obvious, like "Minerva" instead of "Minelba" that's on her box (they used kana for the Victory boxes btw). Going by that, this should be moved to "Ganoh" simply for the ease of anyone looking him up by name on the box. Gan'ou, Gan'ō and Gan'oh are all valid transliterations using different methods, mind you, but only one is official and we should stick with that. JelZe GoldRabbit 08:49, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
