Japanese is actually very easy to pronounce. Similar to Spanish, it is often one consonant + one vowel, with some expection. There are only five verb, a, e, i, o, u, and the pronouncation of these five verbs are always the same. a as 'A' in 'lab' e as 'AY' in 'day' i as 'EA' in 'eat' o as 'OO' in 'door' u as 'OU' in 'you' You just need to add the sound of consonant at both ends. (The only consonant after an vowel is "n") The following are the syllable of the Japanese names in YST. Ryo (r is a sound between r and l, but probably more close to l; y is always the sound of 'y' in 'York'. Ryo is only one syllable, so DOONT pronunce it as "Ri-o") Sei-ji ('ei' is always the long-sound of the verb 'e') Da-te Sa-na-da Shin Mou-ri Tou-ma ('ou' is always the long-sound of the verb 'o') Ha-shi-ba Shuu ('uu' is always the long-sound of the verb 'u') Rei-fan Na-su-ti Ya-gyuu Jun Ya-ma-no Shu-ten-Dou-ji A-nu-bi-su (su at the end of word pronouces like an 's') Ra-ju-ra Na-a-za A-ra-go (g is always the sound of g in 'go') Ka-yu-ra Ka-o-su
