Kakashi is written by Hepburn system of romaji, Kakasi is written by Nihon-shiki or Kunrei-shiki system. Your can read more about it in Wikipedia.

Hello, GTO. こんにちは We often use more "shi" instead of "si". "shi" is hebon-shiki. At school, we learn Hebon-shiki Romaji so "shi" is more commonly used. In a passport, names are also written in Hebon shiki too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese
