 * which is the correct spelling, and a source?--Sxerks 00:32, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately he is too minor a character to appear on the official site/character list, so I can't be entirely certain about the 'official' spelling. However MAL and animevice list him as Takiguchi, and searching "Ryo Takiguchi" turns up many different fan/cosplay sites that use the same spelling. Searching "Ryo Takeguchi" turns up comparatively few relevant results. All the reliable sites I could find (discounting blog entries) listed him as Takiguchi, so at the very least, Takiguchi is the generally accepted spelling.

 * EDIT: his kanji name is listed as 滝口亮 (kanji names usually come from raw manga scans and so it is unlikely that any site would list them wrong). Online romaji translators romanize this kanji as "Takiguchi Akira." Japanese given names are rarely pronounced exactly the same as the kanji that make them up (hence the difference between "Ryo" and "Akira") but, I doubt they would play with the pronounciation of a family name, so Takiguchi is probably the most accurate spelling.
