赤松 陽構造 (person#228513 is officially "Hicozoh Akamatsu" according to his website (http://n-art.jp/), and some of the various art exhibitions he's been in, but per standard Hepburn romanization practices, it should be Hikozō Akamatsu, as how IMDb does it (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3723262/). I'm assuming the "official" romanization takes priority?

If a person's official website (or webpage at talent agency, etc.) displays a stylized romanization of that person's name, it should be respected. (However, if the displayed name appears to be Hepburn romanization with diacritics omitted, feel free to insert the correct diacritics.)
