Actually, indeed, the method they used in Fairy Tail wiki is one that looks decent. They probably had the same dilemma you had. I would put a rule in your Manual of Style about how to write out names of characters and techniques though.

I believe standardized way of adding Japanese characters and romanisation in wiki articles, I believe to be according to the following format:


 * First, the term as you would always call it
 * Opening parenthesis
 * The kanji or (hira/kata)kana
 * Comma
 * Romanized (usually Hepburn romanization) in italic
 * Closing parenthesis

As they did in the Fairy Tail Wiki, you could just indeed add the kanji and kana version in that order, separated with a comma, before the romanization.

What I personally would do, is add pronunciation both behind the kanji version and behind the kana version. This would make it look like this:


 * Ice-Make: Prison (牢獄, Rougoku, プリズン, Purizun)
 * Light Yagami (夜神月, Yagami Tsuki, やがみライト, Yagami Raito)
 * Twirling Hypnotism Technique (ぐるぐる催眠, Guruguru Saimin, ヒュプノスクリュー, Hyupunosu Kuryū)
 * Ultra-Revolutionary Guillotine: Judgment of Light (超革命的断頭台光断, Chō-kakumēteki Dantōdai Kōdan, ラ マルセイエーズ, Ra Maruseiēzu)

In the case of the last you could also add Ultra-Revolutionary Guillotine: Judgment of Light (bla bla bla) or La Marseillaise is a technique bla bla. If you understand my point.

And the romanization thing is just a suggestion. You'd probably be the first wiki to do it that way if so P:
