Hello.

I'd like to ask you to stop changing Gamagōri's uniform name to "shibaru" and "shibaku". That information is incorrect. The correct pronunciation is "shibari" and "shibaki", and I already gave you the necessary information to verify that in the article's talk page. Maybe you haven't seen that, and that's fine. And that's why I'm sending you a PM.

You probably think it's written with a "u" because of Google Translate. That's only one way to read the kanji though, and it is not the one used in the anime (and you shouldn't trust Google Translate if you want accurate translations anyway). If you look closely at the screenshots, you'll see small japanese letters next to the kanji. Those are called "furigana", and they indicate how a kanji should be read. They clearly say "しばり " (shibari) and "しばき " (shibaki). If you still have any doubts, check this hiragana chart right here and compare it to the screenshots: http://www.textfugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hiragana-chart-image.png

(Hiragana is the name of the alphabet. Furigana is the name of the "subtitles" next to kanji.)

And in any case, Gamagōri himself says "shibari" and "shibaki". Just watch the episodes again and pay close attention to what he says.

Anyway, I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.
