The Japanese pronunciation of the name is
[ɡodʑiɽa] (
listen); the Anglicized form is
/ɡɒdˈzɪlə/, with the first syllable pronounced like the word "god", and the rest rhyming with "gorilla". When Godzilla was created (and Japanese-to-English transliteration was less familiar), it is likely that the
kana representing the second syllable was misinterpreted
[citation needed] as
[dzi]; in the
Hepburn romanization system, Godzilla's name would have been rendered as "Gojira", whereas in the
Kunrei romanization system it would have been rendered as "Gozira".
