As far as unusual romanizations on Figuarts boxes go, it's no Jimber or Ratorartar.

As for the official romanization of Gorenger and all its team members over the more logical "Goranger" and ___ranger, maybe it's some kind of legacy thing, like the way Riders up to Decade are still Masked but everything after is Kamen.

Boy do I feel sheepish. A whole year studying the exploration period at Uni and I misremembered Da Gama's name.
