So~ I know in some series, people all tend to pronounce ways in a totally different way, and I was somewhat curious about how people tend to pronounce the names in Nabari no Ou.
Thus, I made a thread /isshot

Well, since I can basically speak Japanese a little bit, I always pronounce Japanese names the way their syllables properly suggest, sooo:

Miharu = "me-ha-roo"

Yoite = "yoh-ee-teh"

Yukimi = "you-key-me"

Tobari = "toh-bah-ree"

Raimei = "raee-meh-ee"

Kouichi = "koh-ee-chee"

etcetera.

Yeah, I tend to do the same thing~ :D
I only have a vague understanding of how Japanese works, and they mispronounce English words all the time, so I don't feel too bad.
Out of the names, I think the only ones I pronounce differently are Yoite and Raimei.

Yoite becomes something like: "yo-tay" [sometimes with a hint of an 'ee' in the middle]
Raimei becomes: "Rai-meh"
