Am I the only one that sees a problem with the opening words of the description?

Light or (Raito)

He is not also known as Raito, it just sounds like Raito when the word Light is pronounced in a Japanese dialect. It just annoys me a little seeing that and I just wanted to know if there was a way to remove the "or Raito" part.

Raito is the romaji pronunciation of his Japanese name. In actually the kanji that reads for Light's name is "moon", so there's bit of confusion when it gets down to that, but Raito is correct.
