I assume you mean Mulism?

If there's no objection this will be added.

Kuzaki should also be removed as an equivalent to Japanese.

Nintendo is Tenkoun, RPed a few centuries back as a large video games producer in Graaffsberg-Syakusen. According to my little search on where I'd left it off, it moved to Luthori under the Yukio-Labsburgs. Presumably they'd have moved back to Syakusen after the Imperial Septembrist Constitution, then to Luthori again during the Hulstrian Party regime.
Super Mario is Super José. Luigi was called Alejandro.
Subject of a small RP which started here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7531&p=66696&hilit=Super+Jos%C3%A9#p66696

That was the only game I specified Tenkoun producing.

Oh, and I almost forgot: for ages, we assumed that the Terran J.S. Bach was a Hulstrian composer named Johann Emmanuel Visp. His Theodorsexilium (the St. Matthew Passion) was used by the second movement Septembrists to filibuster the upper house of the Crownlander Imperial Assembly to try to derail legislation legalising paramilitaries.

Since this might be contentious given the status of the composer, I think our Bach would've been Hulstrian because he was very, very Lutheran and you can feel that about his music. That eliminates most of the Dundorfian-speaking world, which is either Ordist or Patriarchal. Hulstria, with its deeply Luthoran culture, would probably have been the most likely environment a Terran Bach would originate in.

I am using

Mu'tazillah (a branch of Islam) = Mulizm

But Mulism is okay too.. they're pronounced in the same way

Yeah that's why I was asking, since the suffix in English is -ism.

Could Maori be added as "Ikpi (also Aboriginal Australian)" and then Aboriginal Australian changed to "Ikpi (also Maori)"? Thanks!

I'm proposing Benjamin Llewellyn as the founder of the Society of Brethren and thus the real-life equivalent of George Fox. The Wiki currently claims Feorge Gox but this is a pretty poor attempt and there has been no further mention of the name.

2.2
Confucius = Jienshi

Also,
2.1
Chinese folk religion: Guidao

Would better be represented as, at least by my understanding:
Chinese folk religion: Guidao (also based on Taoism)
