* 1 This is not technically wrong since there are many ways (and none of them are standardized) to write Japanese in romaji, however in my experience the Hepburn Romanization system is the most commonly used. "Kyusyu" isn't wrong, but with the Hepburn system you write it like "Kyūshū." You can also write it "Kyushu" or "Kyuushuu" among many others (Kyushu being considered acceptable in spite of the fact Kyushu is written with a long vowel - uu, but people may not know how to make the ū character on their keyboard) but I thought it was worth mentioning this.
* 2 Since people were injured and killed in more than 1 prefecture we say prefectures.
