I could never for the life of me get his name right.

Kazuya is a name I could never pronounce without screwing it up first. It is such a challenging name to grasp for the untrained tongue, and surprisingly it takes a bit more energy to say than it should (personally). It also doesn't seem like a name a badass like him would have, though that's my preference speaking. But then when I realized that his name was similar to that of Kazooie (I mean seriously, the main difference between both of their names is the extra "ah" at the end of Kazuya's name), I am now asking myself how I ever got his name wrong lol.

...actually, I just may very well still be pronouncing it wrong, as I've seen people pronounce that "zu" part of his syllable differently than me. I guess I may never know, unless I take it up with Google. But I most likely won't!!!!

I love the name "Kazooiya". I came up with it on my own, and I am very proud of it.
