Help pronouncing names in Death Note...?

Question

I'm having difficulty reading a few of the names from the anime series Death Note. Please help with these names:

-Ryuzaki
-Wedy
-Aizawa
-Soichiro

Please show me how to pronounce them like this: For example, you pronounce the name "Jimmy" as JIM-mee. Please uppercase the syllable that is stressed! Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce some Japanese names, but it seems they should be like this:
ry-u-ZA-ki
WED-y
ah-i-ZA-wa (usually, with the "ai" diphthong, the "a" is not pronounced)
so-i-CHI-ro
You might ask someone who is/speaks Japanese to be sure.

Answer 2

Ryu zaki =

ryu is a twisted sound with ri + yu =ryu
ryu-za-ki

ki is pronounced like key

we-di

we is pronounced like oo+e twisted sound

ai-za-wa

ai is pronounced like "i"

so-i-chi-ro

i is pronounced as eee, and ro is pronounced like "lo" with a little roll of your tongue

If you put this in the 'Comics & Animation' section of 'Entertainment and Music', someone will probably answer.
