Well, I'm sure a lot of you have experienced such painful pronounciations of anime/japanese names and character names that you've had your ears bleed... so I figured it would be interesting to find out what the most mispronounced anime/japanese names are around. Here are the top 10 that I have heard mispronounced. When I have a bunch of results, I will find out which indeed are the top 10. 10. Saikano (mispronounced as Sigh-can-o) 9. Inu Yasha (mispronounced as Inoo-yeah-sha) 8. Kagome (mispronounced as Kah-go-mee) 7. Kaede (mispronounced as Kadee) 6. Kirara (mispronounced as Key-lah-lah ((yes, even the American people pronounce it this way. >.<))) 5. Asuka (mispronounced as Ah-sue-kah) 4. Momiji (mispronounced as Moh-mih-gih) 3. Sakura (mispronounced as Sah-kuh-ra) 2. Mimiru (mispronounced as Mee-mee-roo ((yes, even the American people pronounce it this way.))) 1. Miroku (mispronounced as Mee-rock-oo) Dreams do come true... |

Most of my friends pronounce Inuyasha In-you-wa-sha and Miroku Ma-row-coo. It's sad ;_; How do you pronounce Kirara corectly anyways?

I've heard that 'In-yu-asha' one, that's painful. I've actually had people pronounce Midoriko (my cat's name) wrong. It's Mi-do-ri-ko not Ma-duri-ku, eeergh.

Technically, "Kilala" is an accurate translation (remember, "r" and "l" are interchangeable in Japanese), but the wrong syllable is emphasized. "Kilala" sounds less awkward in English, to, imo. And if Mimiru isn't pronounced "Mee-mee-roo", than how is it pronounced? |

If u watch the dubbed version of "Princess Nine" Ryo hayakawa was pronounced as "Yoh" but it's Ry-o! Ihate it when people pronounced Inuyasha wrong as in "In-yu-washa" but it's "I-(as in the pronounciation of "e" in english) nu-ya-sha" Damn Idiots!!!  |

| I have found that people often mispronounce any name with the ending -suke (ex: Sasuke, Sanosuke, Ryonosuke). They pronounce it "soo-kay" when it should be just "skay". Also in Gensomaden Saiyuki the English VAs constantly mispronounce many of the names. |

| Does it really matter? It's not like they are real people who whould get offended over simple misprounacations. |

This isn't really a mispronunciation, but I noticed in the Utena dub that it switched from saying 'HimeMYA' to 'HiMEmya.'
What's that? You say you want me to shut up? Well, tough cookies.

Actually, MacV, in my experience FANS get pissed when names are mispronounced, especially by dub VAs (yet they say nothing when English words and names are similarly messed up by the Japanese, which I've always found stupid) Personally, I don't care. We mispronounce Japanese words, they mispronounce English words, *shurgs* no big deal either way... |

well... no mistakes except for syllabication... or accent (??) i dunno but it sounds different if non anime lovers pronounce it... what makes me sad is when i pertain to a certain anime... they'd say "oh... ragnarok again!" i mean... ragnarok is not even anime! (tho it has an animation) i mean... for them every anime is ragnarok and every male character is goku (from dbz)   |

Alot of people mispronounce the 'man' part of 'manga'. I think a problem alot of other people have is that they stretch out the syllables. If they said them more sharply, it would sound much better. Personally, what annoys me more than people mispronouncing anime names is when they mispronounce my name. I've pretty much given up on caring what anyone calls me anymore. -_-;
