¿Romanization? But English is not a Romance language.

But it uses Roman letters which form the Latin alphabet.

Romanization here means that Japanese text gets transcribed into Roman characters. The fact that the transcription follows English phonetics is a different thing.

Nothing to do with English. It's about the Latin or "Roman" alphabet.
