There's no real proper term for a Japanese spear-fighter as near as I can tell, since it was used by many different classes (Samurai, Genin, Ashigaru, etc). The specific training for it is called "Sojutsu" though, if that helps.
To add on about the licensing, it should also be broadcast on the Cartoon Network in addition to being released on DVD. I don't think they've announced when it will air, though.
