==Romanization==
There are a couple of strict romanization rules you must follow.

The romanization system we use is '''{{w|Hepburn romanization|modified Hepburn}}''', with the following modifications and/or enforcements of existing rules:
* '''Macrons are completely disallowed.''' Write out long vowels in full. (e.g., {{ja|平蔵|{{Color|new|nobold=1|Heizou}}}}, not {{Color|old|nobold=1|''Heizō''}})
** For the ''chouonpu'' ({{ja|ー}}), double the preceding vowel. (e.g., {{ja|ゴロー|Goroo}})
* {{ja|づ}} and {{ja|ぢ}} are romanized as ''dzu'' and ''dji''.
** {{ja|ぢゃ}}, {{ja|ぢゅ}}, and {{ja|ぢょ}} should be romanized as ''dja'', ''dju'', and ''djo''. (e.g., {{ja|一本調子|ippondjoushi}}, {{ja|御飯茶碗|gohandjawan}}, {{ja|大手まんぢゅう|ootemandjuu}})
* The ''sokuon'' ({{ja|っ}}) should be romanized by doubling the succeeding consonant.
** When the ''sokuon'' is not followed by any kana, it should be romanized as a single apostrophe ({{F|'}}).

|}
* {{ja|を}}, {{ja|ゐ}}, and {{ja|ゑ}} should always be romanized as {{Color|new|nobold=1|''wo''}}, {{Color|new|nobold=1|''wi''}}, and {{Color|new|nobold=1|''we''}}, not {{Color|old|nobold=1|''o''}}, {{Color|old|nobold=1|''i''}}, and {{Color|old|nobold=1|''e''}}.
* {{ja|へ}} should always be romanized as {{Color|new|nobold=1|''he''}}, not {{Color|old|nobold=1|''e''}} (including when it is used as a particle).
* {{ja|は}} as a particle follows standard Hepburn romanization as ''wa''.
* When {{ja|ん|n}} is followed by {{ja|や|ya}}, {{ja|ゆ|yu}}, or {{ja|よ|yo}}, or any vowel, an apostrophe ({{F|'}}) needs to be inserted between ''n'' and the following kana.
* {{Color|old|Do not}} render {{ja|ん|n}} as ''m'' before labial consonants ''b'', ''m'', or ''p''. (e.g., {{ja|先輩|{{Color|new|nobold=1|senpai}}}}, not {{Color|old|nobold=1|''sempai''}})
* For small kana ({{ja|ぁぃぅぇぉ, ァィゥェォ}}), there are a couple rules:

| ''hw'' + vowel
|-
| any kana + {{ja|ゃ, ゅ, ょ}}
| any kana + {{ja|ャ, ュ, ョ}}
| consonant + ''ya'', ''yu'', ''yo''
|}
* If a small vowel follows a kana of the same vowel and is not followed by the ''chouonpu'' ({{ja|ー}}), treat it as a large vowel and double the vowel. (e.g., {{ja|ねぇ|nee}})
** If it is followed by the ''chouonpu'' ({{ja|ー}}), ignore the small vowel and double the vowel normally. (e.g., {{ja|グゥオパァー|Guuopaa}})
** For the small kana {{ja|ゎ}}, remove the preceding vowel and add ''wa'' (e.g., {{ja|くゎつ|kwatsu}}).

===Capitalization===
* The romanization should follow the capitalization of the corresponding English text, whether it is in title case or sentence case.

===Spacing===
When a kanji compound is five or more kanji in length and is not one coherent compound, spacing must be inserted to separate the compound in the romanization. The larger compound needs to be separated into smaller coherent compounds. For compounds of four or fewer kanji, no spacing is needed and the whole compound should be romanized as one spaceless word.

Spaces should be added between each particle and the word before it.

===Voice Actor Names===
The romanization of voice actor names should be chosen based on the following list (displayed in order from highest priority to lowest priority). These romanizations are permitted to deviate from the romanization guidelines listed above.
# For playable characters whose voice actors are listed in official media, the romanization used on Honkai Nexus Anima's official website;
# The voice actor's personal preference (for example, the romanization used on their website or social media); 
# The most common romanization used in English media (including Wikipedia); 
# The romanization guidelines listed above.
