...Wow. I think those are just mistakes. ;
it can't be. it's from the official trading card that is included in the dgm anime 6th ending.

i think it's sammo han wan. wan is a chinese surname so it makes sense.

It would make sense, but it looks like an "o" in his name (compare to the "a" in Bak's). They'd sound the same in Japanese, though, and Hoshino doesn't seem to be that great with picking accurate Chinese names all the time (shouldn't "Lee" be "Li" in Chinese, for instance?).

good point. there is a chinese surname wong but hoshino might have dropped the "g".

Maybe Sammo Han Won is Korean? That's the first thing I thought when i saw this.
Hoshino has made a point of calling it the Asian branch, after all, not the Chinese branch.

Haha... well, I don't think we have the official romanization of his name. Just assume that whenever someone types Cyril/Sheril/Sheryl, they're talking about the same guy. (Knowing Hoshino, it's going to be something none of us saw coming like Shiryl or whatever.)

I dont get it, why choose a name liek Cyril/Sheril/Sheryl?? It seems too funked up for Road. I cant see Road as Cyril/Sheril/Sheryl no matter HOW hard i try.

...Huh? Cyril/Sheril/whoever is Road's (adopted) father, not Road herself. He's another Noah entirely. ^_^

Oh well. I don't care.

The Character Book had some new official English spellings included in it too:

Tewaku
Madarao
Nea
Tokusa
Wisely

Nothing very surprising there.

Some that are missing:
Howard Link
Johnny Gill
Chaozii Han
Alma
Malcolm=C=Lvellie (let's just go with "C." and spaces)
Yossy (the bunny mascot)
Tup Dop (RIP)
The 14th (and not "The Fourteenth", if it matters)

Also, while "The earl of millenium" did appear, later on it shows up with the corrected "millennium". Krory is also oddly referred to as "Arystar Krory The Third", not lowercase "the Third" or "III".

I finally looked at the compilation books others linked to, and noticed that "Gigi Lujon" and "Mark Burrough" quoted in the first post of this thread are wrong; they should be Gigi Lujun and Mark Burroughs. Also, the compilation book scans have Bridget Faye, Timothy Hearst, Alma Karma.
