It doesn't make a lot of different how you spell it in English, since it's a Japanese name.
The system of phonetic Japanese-English translation (romanji) is just that, phonetic. If it sounds right, then it is right. For the most part. For a lot of words/names there's a few different ways to "spell" them, which gives rise to such misunderstandings. Think also of how many different ways you've seen "Asuka Langely-Sohryu" spelled. I can think of at least three.
But for the record I've read all the Akira comics and every single time, without fail, it is spelled "Kaneda."
