I have to disagree on this one. I, for one, can read Japanese, and I always find it entertaining to see characters. Besides, I am very certain that StrategyWiki will grow to include import video games. To alleviate any sort of confusion that '???' renderings bring about, we could have a section similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Japanese this] and a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Nihongo matching template] to go with it.

: I have to agree.  I originally wanted to have Japanese names included in some of the guides that I started but they kept getting erased.  Because honestly, you can sometimes find out a lot more about a game by Googling the Japanese name in Japanese than in Romanji.  I propose that we add an optional Japanese name field in the infobox so that I could, for example, add パックマン to the [[Pac-Man]] guide.
