**OK. But how do we know that it's spelled ''Ishi'' and not ''Ichi''? I don't know Japanese, but have seen the spelling "Ichi" as a component of names and have heard it pronounced with a "tch" sound (as Matt said it), rather than a "sh" sound (as in ''Hiroshima''). --[[User:Mercury McKinnon|Mercury McKinnon]] 21:31, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
