Ok this is one where I straight up know I'm saying this in a pretty westernized way and I absolutely refuse to change it for anyone, or any reason.
Since I was a kid, my natural assumption was that his name was pronounced RYE-YOU (like rye bread) or RYE-OO. I've stuck to that since the beginning. I won't ever change it.
I've also heard that company called Ryu in the UFC pronounced as ROO (wtf??). And people have claimed that's correct....
Then finally there's Ree-yoo, which I think sounds...okay. Or I'm just biased, cuz to me it's just Rye-Yoo.
I assume Ree-yoo is closest to how the Japanese would say It?
The pronunciation civil war continues.
