Kedamsky (<span>??????</span> Kedamusuk?
What I wrote is the romaji of the characters. There is no singular "m" sound in Japanese for instance. It's always paired with a vowel after it. Ma Mi Mu Me Mo in this instance mu. There's a su and a ki after that. Then the extender which just extends the last vowel. So I suppose I should've wrote "kedamusukii". "Kedamsky" is likely close to how it's pronounced with the "u" in "mu" and "su" being softened. The "ky" representing the "ki" sound due to it's inherent similarity to names like "Salinsky" and "Alinsky". So that's likely why the official transliteration differs from my own.

Another thing is that there's several different romaji systems and "romaji" itself is sometimes written "romanji" in a few old texts I've come across. Learning from older material, as I've been doing, I've come across at least 5 different romaji systems. Plus different phonetic transcription systems.

Anyways um, I'd be willing to help as much as I can. I'll give you some sites that can help with finding kanji right now. Here's some sites that you can search via radical.

http://kanji.sljfaq.org/mr.html
http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/

You can click on what you recognize from part of the kanji. You can click multiple parts as well to narrow down the search to a specific kanji.

Edit
What I could do with the other lines.
First line Google translate gives:
Phantom living in a mysterious forest.

Bing translate gives:
The phantom lives in a mysterious forest.

The romaji for the first line seems to be:
fushigina morini sumukaijin.

Final line:
Google translate yeilds:
Foot is faster than the jet black Kirenenko if be very.

Bing translate:
Very nimble, kirenenko quicker feet.

Romaji for final line seems to be:
Totemo suba shikkoku kirenenko yori ashiga hayai.
