it's pronounced no and it is the Japanese equivalent of the. Its like an article, except it comes after the noun. Like for example in Hayao Miyazaki's film The Cat Returns is Neko no Onegashi.

の, in hiragana, or ノ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. In the gojūon system of ordering of Japanese syllables, it occupies the 25th position, between ね (ne) and は (ha). It occupies the 26th position in the iroha ordering. The hiragana resembles the number 6 on its side, while its katakana looks like a curved slash. It is pronounced (IPA) [no] and its romanization is 'no'.
That's assuming that this is the Japanese symbol.

This is the marker of possessive in Japanese. The possessed follows this and the possessor precedes it. The "possessive" in Japanese is far more comprehensive in scope that is usually included in the English meaning of the word.
