Hi, I need the Romanization of what I presume are two Japanese names: "遠山雅夫樣" and "Guono 鄉野先生"

Tooyama Masao Sama, Gouno Sensei

Hi,

I'm not sure, but the first name can be read as: Tooyama Masao. 樣 is Sama, an honorific form of address.

As for the second name, you've already provided the answer, except that I'd like to change it a little to : Gouno. 先生 is Sensei, not part of a name, but also an honorific form of address. He can be either a teacher, a lecturer, or an expert in a certain field. Even writers are referred as Sensei.
Note from asker:
Many thanks! I have translated 先生/Sensei as Mr., given its broad usage.
Peer comment(s):

agree Yumico Tanaka (X) : Guono is a typo. Gouno is correct.
