True, I guess I was thinking more from a compacted name point of view. If you had used the base kanji for black, it would've been pronounced 'kokujouka', unless you were deliberately trying to make it sound like the English pronunciation. Also, I think the only reason Black Lightning uses keiyoushi for its name is because 'Kuroi Kaminari' isn't the actual name for it; it's just something a shinobi said when he first saw it. If you check its infobox, its actually unnamed. The reason the shinobi used 'kuroi kaminari' was because he was describing it, not actually calling it by its title.
