I am a japanese.
I also have been thinking the same thing for a long time.
Hepburn is a common way to transliterate Japanese characters into Roman characters, but it’s not itself a language or a translation.
Frankly, I fundamentally don’t think “Hepburn” are necessary in Item: “Language / Type”.
We, Japanese, don’t use “Hepburn” when we treat of the animal. We use katakana(=Japanese) or scientific name for animal name.
