create alias towa_monaka -> towa_monaca
create alias touwa_haiji -> towa_haiji

As of currently, Monaca's name uses a mixed romanization - surname romanized like it is in the English game release (Towa, vs original Touwa), and given name romanized literally (Monaka, vs Monaca in the English version).
Haiji, a character that shares her surname on the other hand, uses a hard "literal" romanization rather than the official game one.

Well, not exactly - technically the Funimation subtitles did use that romanization for Monaca, but generally the game's localized romanizations are preferred in the DR community. Unsure if "Touwa" was ever used as an official romanization, though.

No, I mean it. I searched for "touwa haiji" and google offered me to correct it to "towa haiji", and "monaka" seems to be almost exclusively used by art aggregators, which all inherited the name from us due to danbooru being the upstream to all of those sites.

Realized that we have quite a bit of other characters that aren't romanized according to the game/official material.
Unsure what to do about Princess Buuko, given her localized name is actually quite different from her original one - Princess Piggles.
Also leaving out Danganronpa 0 characters and a bunch of DR3 student council members, as DR0 never got an official localization, and all those minor anime characters are too hard to track down.
