I’m not sure which reading is correct. More trustworthy sources would be needed.

fyi, it seems the surname can be read in three ways: Hounokidani, Houya, and Hoonokidani. The order of the names means that the hiragana on the far left is the most common reading in Japan. As you move to the right, the readings become less common.

Hohnokidani looks better to cover both cases. / romanization from interview screenshot

Hey, don't look at me, I just took a reading from a booklet published directly by Aniplex themselves (which is counted as a trustworthy source, even for mistakes ).

Also, as we're frequently made aware of on this site whenever romanizations and sources come up, readings being common or not is known to be of no relevance at all to what the romanization should be.

"Hohnokidani" from the screenshot featured on ANN is probably as direct as can be past the Aniplex booklet.

We know there is nothing wrong with Hoonokidani considering the Japanese typically pronounce both おお and おう as [oo]. However let’s hold off on filling in the hiragana field until more definitive source is found.

@TheFantomConvoy

You only added back the reading, but you didn't change the preferred romanization to match his Facebook.

Didn't even click the page in the first place, just saw what was missing.
Guess the BK spelling can go in variations.
(As is probably evident I'm not exactly anywhere near the same level as most here.)
