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?
I'm making the oposite assumption. That the japanese crew working on those conventions are using the apostrophe as a mean to create words with a foreign, special and distant feel from their perspective. It is most likely done without knowledge of the impact of the faulty usage from the roman/latin based languages perspective.

I doubt they created the words initially from katakanas as they are used to emulate pronounciation only and if you can find me a combination of hiraganas that would fit: "A’zumyn Bhen", then i'll give you a baggie of catnip from my own private stash. Keep in mind that this is mostly a hunch of mine. Speculation at best.
