replies: text: Tesshō Genda →  – It looks like his current official Roman-character name is Tessyo Genda. It's used on his agency's site and the US poster for The Deer King.
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles#Modern names, if there is no one clear conventional spelling, the official spelling should be used over the Hepburn romanization. Tempjrds (talk) 02:34, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

text: Oppose: In Hepburn romanization, 「しょ」is "SHO" . For example Shohei Ohtani. If, Tesshō Genda  → Tessho Genda, I support it.--55go (talk) 07:11, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

:Tesshō Genda →  – I previously requested a move to this spelling which ended with no consensus, perhaps because I didn't explain myself enough or provide enough evidence.
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles#Modern names, articles about post-Meiji-Restoration Japanese people should be titled after "the form [of their name] personally or professionally used by the person, if available in the English/Latin alphabet (this can include the spelling appearing on their official website or official social media profile, but do not rely on a URL when the actual text is all Japanese)"; modified Hepburn romanization should only be used for article titles when no official nor commonly used romanization can be identified.
The modified Hepburn romanization should always be included in parentheses in the opening of the article, and it will still be there if the title of the article uses a different spelling.
In this case, the website of the person's agency uses the spelling Tessyo Genda. This is supported by this spelling also being used on the industry database Japan Creator Bank and on the US/CA poster for his recent movie The Deer King, which can be downloaded in high enough resolution to read the text in this ZIP file.
Some much earlier Roman-character posters use another spelling, but Tessyo Genda appears from this evidence to be the current official one.
JFDB, another industry database, uses Tessho, but I would not consider that as authoritative a source as his agency's site.
If you don't like the Tessyo spelling and want the article to be titled after the modified Hepburn organization,  Tesshō, then you need to get the policy on this at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles#Modern names changed because prioritizing the modified Hepburn romanization is not currently what the Manual of Style tells us to do. Opposing this move will not change the policy.
If you think a different spelling is currently more commonly used officially and can provide evidence, then that would be a valid reason for opposing the move and will help us to decide what the article title should be. Tempjrds (talk) 04:22, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
