    There are two way to write Japanese in alphabet.
    I use Hepburn style.Kimbozan.

    But in Japanese style is "Kinbozan".

    Sumo Kyokai uses Japanese style in case for Kimbozan.
    But they mainly uses Hepburn syle. I don't knoy why they use
    two writing way in Banzuke.

    I use Hepburn style.

    I know one of the regulars at Sumoforum renders names
    differently from most,e.g. "Kaiou" instead of "Kaio".
    Which of those is Hepburn?

    "Kaio" is in Hepburn.

    If I were to hear a Japanese person refer to Kin/Kim-bozan, well, would I
    hear an N or an M?

    In Hepburn style, the "n" before B, M, and P is written as M instead of N.

    This is a matter of how to write it, not how to pronounce it.

    The question remains as to whether Hepburn is more or less
    accurate in reflecting how it is pronounced in its choice of
    how it is written.
