It's Godzilla, not Gojira

When preparing Godzilla for international distribution, Toho Co., Ltd. picked the English spelling of ゴジラ to be Godzilla. Gojira is NOT the official English spelling, nor does it even represent the correct way to pronounce it in Japanese. If you listen to a Japanese speaker, you can clearly hear a "z" sound, not a "j" sound.

The Hepburn romanization system, we get Gojira. The system isn't very accurate with regard to sounds. The Kunrei-shiki rōmaji has a better translation of Gozira. Note that I mentioned a clear "z" sound in the name, and the spelling here supports that sound.

Regardless, Toho gave the official spelling as Godzilla. The spelling isn't what's wrong, it's the pronunciation. It should be Go-dzi-lla, not God-zilla. That's the main reason people started writing "Gojira" to try and get the pronunciation to be more accurate, but that spelling is NOT an accurate pronunciation either. If you're going to misspell the name, at least spell it Gozira. In either case, you shouldn't be misspelling it at all.

If your parents gave you the name Michelle and spelled it Michele. Who gives anyone the right to say your name is spelled wrong? It's the spelling on your birth certificate, and officially the way to spell YOUR name. Well Toho said ゴジラ should be given the English spelling Godzilla, and who are you to say otherwise?

Now can people please stop spelling Godzilla as Gojira. You are wrong, and you look foolish.
