I don't know if this has been brought up before... But is there any reason why we don't make aliases from the kanji names to the romanizations? So:
涼宮ハルヒ -> suzumiya_haruhi
アリス・マーガトロイド -> alice_margatroid
etc. Maybe with アリス_マーガトロイド as variation as well...
That way it would be a much simpler task to use the tags from pixiv or descriptions from Japanese sites when you're uploading stuff... You can just copy-paste instead of having to figure out what the romanization was again.
I don't know about other people, but I regularly forget the names of characters that I'm trying to upload, and sometimes I get so annoyed at it that I just don't upload that image. :D
I know it'd be a lot of work to add those tags, but if we just add them as we come by them, I figure it'll fill up nicely. I don't know if having a large amount of additional aliases will be a problem for danbooru though.
