Now Leangle I've always been uncertain of exactly how to pronounce. I just say "Langle" like Bangle but with an L.

Also, upon thinking about this more yesterday I came up with two Riders whose names I always say wrong: Hibiki and Kabuto.

I say h'BEE-key instead of He-bee-key

and ka-BOO-toe instead of KA-bu-toe.

If there's one thing I've consistently noticed when meeting other Rider fans rl, we all say these names differently.

Man, that just reminded me of something.

When Kabuto was starting to promote it upcoming summer movie they did some short skits at the end of each episode with some of the characters watching clips from older Rider shows. One of them was a clip of Stronger doing his iconic "the heavens cry out!" catchphrase. Tendou, naturally, being the arrogant dick that we all know and love, makes a joke something along the lines of "if he's Kamen Rider Stronger, then I'm Kamen Rider Strongest." Hiro Mizushima is fluent in English, though, so he pronounces both words in correct English ("stronger" instead of "sturonga") and it sounds so fucking weird.

Also, if it helps, I don't know much about the Japanese language, but there are two tricks I know when it comes to pronunciation: vowels always sound the same and there are no stressed syllables in Japanese.
