How do you pronounce Sayaka Maizono?

[mastersuperfan]

Game: SA-ya-ka Mai-ZO-no
Anime Dub: Sa-YA-ka MAI-zo-no

Which way is it? Or is it maybe SA-ya-ka MAI-zo-no? (since the game usually uses the first name and the anime dub uses the last name)

The game pronunciation is correct.

Is it? Pretty sure everyone in the Japanese dub called her MA-i-zo-no

Japanese dub is too, I thought the person meant English dub.

Japanese has technically no emphasis on syllables, so I'd say neither?

Between the two options mentioned, though, I'd say the pronunciation of the game takes precedence since the anime is based on the game. (Assuming you're talking about the original Japanese dub.)

True, but don't forget that the Japanese language also includes pitch and musical accents, so saying it in a monotone way would affect it too.
