I'm wondering about the Romanization of Miwa Kawasaki if it's correct or not. TokyoPop and Bandai both Romanized her name as Miu Kawasaki and running through a few of your basic translators I tend to get the same results, obviously taking into account they aren't super accurate. No duplicates are around as far as I can tell and I've used Miwa for constancy when adding credits for her.

She has the same first name as the character Miu from Gatekeepers 21 who was mistranslated as Miha on the R3 DVDs.

I've found a couple of Japanese pages that back up the Miu spelling, but none for Miwa

Since the oldest credit we have is for the Digimon CG movie in 2005, the spelling probably originates from this 2004 news article:

animenewsnetwork.com/news/2004-05-25/new-digimon-for-2005

So it is presumably down to whoever originally translated the name for the article - either the person who posted it, Megchan or Marc Levy.
