BUR #20820 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias akiyama_ryou -> akiyama_ryo
create alias higashimitarai_kiyoshirou -> higashimitarai_kiyoshiro
create alias oozora_yuujin -> ozora_yujin
create alias izumi_koushirou -> izumi_koshiro
create alias kido_jou -> kido_jo

Official merch don't really uses the extras: "u" and "o".

So I'm recommending simplify these names for more convenience.

In your other topics about Digimon related tags you are trying to keep things in-line with original Japanese names. Removing long vowels is exactly what you should not do in such situations. Long vowels are an important part of Japanese language and their inclusion is necessary to convey proper pronunciation.

Official spellings usually supersede the long vowel rule, but I'd like to see some examples of these spellings being used officially.

This is from a keychain of the character released in Japan a long time ago.

I couldn't find the official romanizations of Jo and Koshiro, so for now just these three until I find those official arts again...
