Kono, Kôno, or Kōno?

edit

Hi all.
"河野" (hiragana: こうの, Hepburn romanization: Kōno, IPA /koːno/) is a rather unusual Japanese family name.

The use of a circumflex instead of a macron to indicate that "Kono" has three moras is very quirky.
That said, is "Kôno" or "Kono" widely used in the scientific literature for this scientist?
