I found it important to show Japanese name as correct as it is possible (it means both technical and my personal possibilities). When Mr. Hepburn created the Hepburn-style transcription table, he did not care about long vowels. There are some ways in practice to transcript long vowels. I think I could find a not too bad solution, maybe it will be a bit strange at first glance, but I think it will be easy to get used to it.
Those sounds which I did not mention here, should be pronounced normally by the Hepburn-style alphabet.
Sounds which I used but are non-standard Hepburn sounds:
| oo | long o |
| uu | long u |
| o'o | two o syllables (not a long o !) |
| u'u | two u syllables (not a long u !) |
| n' | when a vowel follows an n ( n'e, n'i is not ne, ni ) |
| dzu | In case when tsu becomes voiced in compounds, except in word Yokozuna which I kept in this more known form. Pronunciation is the same as in case of "zu". |
