I would say in the absence of an "official" source, using the above references to come to a conclusion would have made perfect sense.

But we do have official sources. If for example the official source were to say Kaisaki's English name is "Arthur" (not actually, just an example), then his English name would be Arthur. And if there is an official source providing the English spelling for おおが, then we should follow the official source.

In case where there are different official sources with different spelling, we should define a clear process of which official source has higher precedence. In this case, Crunchyroll's licensed translation differs from Comico's marketing material (meant for the Japanese market), so I would say the question should be whether we go with an "originalist" approach and follow Comico's marketing material, or do we go with the "localized" approach and follow whoever is licensed to translate and distribute the English edition of ReLIFE (in this case it would be Crunchyroll).

We aren't going to spell Tokyo as Tōkyō either, even thou (/ou/) is clearly not (/o/).
