Thanks you three for the responses. It's what I needed to know. 

So am I correct in assuming if there was a typo in the credits, we would include it as such?

For instance, if say Homer Simpson was creditted as Homar Simpson for one episode, we would contribute it as Homar Simpson? Not arguing for or against either, just wanting an understanding of what is expected. 

And as for "what other answer could there possibly be", I thought that maybe in this case it might be a typo since this is a translated work. Anime being made in Japan and translated into English via an English puplisher can contain many errors. This is probably one of them, as the character is refered to as Shoukou everywhere else in the series, including the original works in which it is based on (a novel). I was more thinking for accuracy sake, but this is why I asked this in the forums since there seems to be a fine line between accuracy and following the rules.

Just to throw out another example/question...in the same series, a couple of discs back, a couple of episodes had the wrong voice actors listed for wrong characters. They had all the actors and roles there, they were merely mixed up.  Do I contribute the errors, as shown in the credits? Or do I use my head and fix the errors for the contribution (with documentation of said changes of course)?

Anyway, thanks again for clarification and I will contribute the roles as shown in the credits, per the rules.

I think rather than a typo, it's probably simply the preference in translation, or the "accuracy".  Romanised names attempt to depict the Japanese words, and often the difference between say (in this case) Shoukou and Shokou is bordering on negligible.  The Japanese (kanji) characters depict sounds rather than "letters", so in conversion to romaji, there's some subjectivity involved.
