Is Hime pronounced "Hime" like time Or "Hee-may" like he may Also, how do you pronounce Kage? (the staff) "Kage" like cage, or "Kah-gay"

Ka-gay although ive always thought hime (time) the other may be right.

I think what you said. Dreamy Ghost is the GMS name, and hime the KMS/JMS way right? And they pronounce it as hee-may (I think) I think what you said, like hokage. (waits to be called a narutard)

Whoever says hime (rhymes with chime) is a retard. Its pronounced he-may.

Yeah I was watching bleach (subbed), and I noticed that when people call Orihime her nickname (hime), they say "hee-may" and "Hime" is japanese for princess. D:

FreeWashes : Like time, like cage... since you speak english :o in japanese or whatever it would be the other you said English has plenty of weird pronunciations, kage is pronounced kah-gay. Hime is hee-may. The problem comes in the different characters used and the multitude of ways that you can romanize them.

the first option for both would be if youre english, the other for asian, or trying to sound asian.

If you were english then say dreamy ghost. If you say hime, then your trying to sound asian.

YueRiku : Whoever says hime (rhymes with chime) is a retard. Its pronounced he-may. And I wonder how you pronounce route. *Waits for answer and responds with "Whoever says route (rhymes with a word similar to the way you pronounce route) is a retard."*
