Well, there are the number of Japanese collaborations Marvel has made, mostly with Toei, like Kyōfu Densetsu: Kaiki! Frankenstein or Yami no Teiō: Kyūketsuki Dracula, that originally were released with names in Japanese (恐怖伝説 怪奇！フランケンシュタイン and 闇の帝王 吸血鬼ドラキュラ, respectively). But I also ask since we have a number of artists (screenplay writers, mostly) from these projects that are Japanese natives (i.e. Tadaaki Yamazaki), and as such are credited by their Japanese names in the original releases (山崎 忠昭).

My question is, do we list them with their Japanese names or the translated English name?

For some perspective, another major encyclopedia I contribute with regularly is Encyclopaedia Metallum; when it comes to non-English releases, the site lists all info in its native language, and then adds translations where available/needed. For example, this release has its info listed in Hebrew, as per the original release, and translation for those that don't speak Hebrew is listed in the additional notes tab. Then again, the almighty Wikipedia lists all pages with translated American names, regardless of what original, native language might have been used.

I'm just curious, since we want to model an international site.
