Shouldn't this be translated to standard Romaji, in which case it should read "Kaori Kano"?

CANO CAOLI OFFICAIL WEBSITE - CC'S VOYAGE -

Lots of things don't work "by the book" -- in this case, the book happens to be your dictionary.

The Encyclopedia would be a much simpler place if there was always a 1:1 relationship between kanji and romaji, and if things always followed standard patterns and rules.

But that's not how reality works; we are up to our necks in special cases, exceptions, and one-off rules.
