Talk:Ishi Nakamura
First name
Is it spelled Ishi? When Matt says it in Episode 120, it sounded more like "Ichi" to me. --Mercury McKinnon 20:22, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
- I think Ishi is usually pronounced as "Ichi" in Japanese.--Ice Vision 20:45, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
- 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). --Mercury McKinnon 21:31, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
- We don't. We're taking a guess. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:36, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
- Not that it matters or is in any way relevant, but Googlefight votes for "Ichi". :)--Hardvice (talk) 22:27, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
