I also have a question on how 蛇ヶ原 (from "The Battle of Jakehara) was translated as "Jakehara". From what I'm seeing it's more closely "Jagahara". I would wager a guess that whoever arrived at the name took the "Ja" of the first kanji and the "hara" of the last one, and assumed that the figure in the middle was "ke". Which, while it looks like it, it's not. It is smaller and serves a different purpose, meant to be read as "ka" or "ga". So thus I would propose we switch to Jagahara instead of Jakehara.
