be careful. there is a difference in pronunciation between the normal sized tsu and the small tsu. つvs.っ. the big one is pronounced "tsu" and the wee one indicates the presence of a stop. and yes, it's identified in romanji by a double consonant. it will appear in front of some consonant sounds and not others, but is not limited to ko. ie- sessuru, gakkari, hokkaido, nattsu, handobaggu etc.
not so much a hiragana thing as it's a japanese thing
