Talk:Hiromichi Kono

Kono, Kôno, or Kōno?
Hi all.

"河野" (hiragana: こうの, Hepburn romanization: Kōno, IPA /koːno/) is a rather unusual Japanese family name.

Following the Wikipedia Manual of Style, this article's title may arguably
 * be kept as it is, as that is the transliteration of his family name he is best known by
 * be moved to "Kōno Hiromichi" or "Hiromichi Kōno", as that is the transliteration of his family name he is best known by

The use of a circumflex instead of a macron to indicate that "Kono" has three moras is very quirky.

That said, is "Kôno" or "Kono" widely used in the scientific literature for this scientist? Pete aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
