Hi all,[edit]

Per MOS the appropriate transliteration of should be "Kuromidō". According to my Nelson, 銅 is Modern Reader's Japanese-English Character Dictionary character 4853, Tōyō #1948, and its on-yomi in Hepburn is dō.

Of more concern is that Japanese Wikipedia doesn't have an article for Kuromido aka Kuromidō.
There's a plethora of Ghits for both Kuromido and 黒味銅 but none would appear to be reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.
Moreover, there are but three and those trivial in the technical sense hits on Google Scholar in English, and similarly three trivial hits on Google Scholar in Japanese.
I'm not arguing that the article should be WP:PROD'd or WP:AfD'd - this is simply a rationale for adding tags. Wiser heads than mine, etc, etc.
