Default How do you...

Pronounce Shigeru's last name?(His last name is Miyamoto) My friend and I had an Argument on how you pronounce his name. is it:
1:My-uh-moto:The way I pronounce it.
Or 2:Me-uh-moto:The way my friend pronounces it.

If you're a normal Nintendo fan, you pronounce it like this:

"shig-gee"

If you're a Nintendo fanatic, you pronounce his name like this.

"god"

It's Me-Uh-Mo-To. But if you're Japanese, it sounds more like Me-Moto.

The correct english prenounciation would be:

My - ya - mote - oe.

The Japanese however I believe prenounce is as - Me - as appose to - My -

I prenounce it My. (as I have written above)
