Well, I know how I always pronounce it, yet I have no idea if that's the right way.

Anyways:

Keey-kuu-wii-chii-mon-dzjee

The problem with this thread is going to be different tongues, different word components and different way of explaining how to pronounce something. I have no idea how to pronouce "dzjee".

I would pronounce "Kikuichimonji" as "key-koo-ichee-mon-jee". The "jee" as in "jeep" or "Jesus". The "J" and "G" have possibly the most varied pronunciations of any consonant, hence the recent thread that looked at how "Jipay" is pronouced. My surname "Jones" is accepted as being Welsh, yet it can't be - there's no "J" in the Welsh alphabet!

The only way to understand how to pronounce names would be to hear them.

It would be pronounced as the jee in jeep. And yeah, I *tried* to make it sound right in English, but these things are just plain undoable to translate correctly, so it'll always have a dutch ring to it.
