Not a direct "translation", but a stylized roman letter writing. A Japanese person seeing Zinogre would not pronounce it the same way that Jinouga would be pronounced, since they would have no point of reference, Jinouga looks like a Japanese word when written in roma-ji, Zinogre does not. Yes, the "zi" sound would be pronounced the same way "ji" would be pronounced, but this sound doesn't exactly exist in Japanese other than for foreign loan words, so in either case, its not native to the language. As for the "pinku" example, this depends on your usage. The word "pinku" exists in Japanese as a foreign loan word, and the "u" is not always dropped. Furoggi would be pronounced with the "u", the dropping of the "u" is more common if the "u" comes at the end of the word. All this doesn't matter, since the names probably would be changed for a more "western" tongue when it comes over, I just wanted to correct some things.
