Reading

したがき
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading is all kun'yomi vocab reading, as you can maybe guess from the hiragana sticking out. If you know the readings of the words and 書く separately, you should be able to combine them into one reading. Just don't forget the rendaku here!
