DU and ZU are interchangeable in my experience, it's annoying the heck out of me. づ is ZU in revised hepburn and kunrei-shiki, while it's DU in nihon-shiki. Cedille may be able to shed a light on what romaji is actually most popular (correct?) atm.

Tezuka, if anything, would be right. The problem is it has to be 'Teduka' in Roman to kana conversion that most Japanese use (while I'm one of the few persons who prefer Kana letter input ;p).

Possible Twitter account: @Ryoutazaemon? Doesn't outright say his full name or that he works at Atlus. Found him through Kenichi Tsuchiya and Toshiko Tasaki, who both follow him (and vice versa, but of course that's not reliable).

Found in this post he says "I'm Kozuka from Index [Atlus' parent/current company]", so surely he is the same guy.

Nice! Thanks for digging that up.

Seems like every other game, he's credited with alternating versions of his family name. For SMT4, it's Koduka, for P4: Dancing All Night, it's Kozuka.

I'm aware that both are just as correct, but it would be nice to see Atlus/him settle on a single version, just for consistencies sake.

Coming back to this, but I think we should rename the page to Kozuka, since AFAIK, he was only credited as Koduka in SMT4 (in recent years), while its been Kozuka in every Persona title and OST since. Does anybody object?

wait 2 years (time for vgmdb "Ents"), if in 2 years nobody argued so you could change it ;p

*prepares to write a note re zu and du being used interchangeable, reads that he posted just that in this very thread over 8 years ago already, leaves thread again*
