The Japanese surname and proper noun Igarashi is pronounced phonetically as "ee-gah-RAH-shee" (with four distinct syllables and emphasis placed primarily on the third syllable, rah). The initial "i" sounds like the "ee" in see, the "ga" sounds like gah, the "ra" sounds like rah, and the final "shi" sounds like shee. In Japanese phonology, pitch accent is relatively flat, but English speakers naturally adapt it with a rhythmic cadence resembling ee-guh-rah-shee, ensuring smooth articulation across global commercial and technical interactions.
