According to Wiki, German and Spanish barely use it at all.

    Most people will simply skip both the prounounciation and typing of the apostrophe for words SE made, denoting the burden it creates, as small as it may be.
    But you're moon so you don't even need to worry about it?

    Also, why are you assuming that these apostrophized names are of Japanese origin? What if the character (NPC, not PCs) names are just kana resulting in a similar or equivilent pronunciation in their version and these naming conventions are done 100% for the Roman alphabet-using audience?
