While pronounced Daiouji, it is romanised on the covers as Daioh"g" or DaiohG. They dropped the inverted commas in 2016:

The bigger problem is that
ASCII Media Works

and Kadokawa Shoten
https://www.mangaupdates.com/publishers.html?id=94
exist. Those are the same with Kadokawa being the parent company. That´s why I stopped after manually edited link 1 and 3 into one. At least Comic Dengeki Daiouji can now be wiped. The note on "Kadokawa Shoten" with the imprints helps but only to a degree. No one would ever say that an Epic or MAX comic isn´t by Marvel and that MAD, Vertigo or Wildstorm aren´t DC to give an American example.
Differently written magazines are and will forever remain a problem with open databases. One typo is enough to create a new entry and the existence of both Original Publisher pages will only add to the confusion and division. Please merge those too dear admins. MU needs to be as foolproof as possible.
I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.
