I am a native Mandarin speaker who speaks some Japanese. I would like to point out that all names, including everyone in Kou Empire with Mandarin names, are all pronounced in Japanese (duh, right?). So there is nothing wrong with 李 being Ri, because they read it as り (ri). If you want everything to be correct (i.e Mandarin names in Mandarin) then Hakuryuu should be Bai-long. Personally I would just stick with romaji for the sake of simplicity. And another thing to point out is that the average Japanese have really poor English so don't expect too much even if they are from the official guidebook. They will still be prone to mistakes here and there. I am serious, they are that bad.
