Help[Facts] Re: A stupid question concerning the pronunciation of a Japanese name
in reply to a message by Phyllis
"G" as in "Green" (not like "ginger" f.ex.) and the "i" is quite clear, like "ee". Just listen on youtube to "Gintama" or "Bleach" or "Mushishi", all of them have characters called "Gin" =)

The debate was about Ichimaro Gin from _Bleach_. Several people have been saying that it's pronounced like the liquor, but I was pretty sure it sounded closer to "kin" than "gin".

then you were right :) It is definitely not like the liquor (which is actually spelled as "Jin" in japanese).
