It's hard to determine whether or not he does these things on purpose, but it is true that Araki tends to make alot of changes as the series goes on. Josefumi, for example, has "Josephmi" on the phone, "Jyosefumi" on the FAX, and then "Josefumi" on the same FAX a few chapters later.

Just to make things clear: Our current policy is set up to use both "most recent" and "most consistent" names. For example, if there are 3 instances of a name, and the most recent one is different from the last two, the most "consistent" name would override the "most recent." Obviously, the consistency rule doesn't apply when there is only one or two name spellings available (or ALL the spellings are different), in which case the "most recent" is used.

With all that said, I'm open to updates or changes to this policy, as long as there's some civil discussion on it. Maybe opening another forum thread would be appropriate?
