There're several ways to Romalise the "Chinese name in Japanese style" :--

1. Keep the direct Romaji of Japanese. Like "Seishun Ri" or "Seisyun Ri"as "李青舜". There's no different between "shu" and "syu". Just choose one system for all these names are OK.

2. Keep the Romaji of Japanese, but make it more similar to Chinese. Like "Sei-shun Li" as "李青舜", "Haku-ryuu Len" as "練白龍".

3. Change it into Modern Chinese, Like "Qing-shun Li"(Mardarin) or "Cing-seon Lei"(Cantonese) as "李青舜", and "Bai-long Lian"(Mardarin) or "Baak-lung Lin"(Cantonese) as "練白龍".

No. 3 is not an usual way. Besides, since the katakana sound in Japanese comes from old Chinese (For example, " 練 " pronounce as [lien] and " 白"  pronounce as [ bʰɐk ]   in  Tang Dynasty) , so it's acceptable to use No. 2 or 1.
