ごかいしょ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.

Unlike many other 〜所 vocabulary, the しょ does NOT get rendaku'd with 碁会所, so just watch out for that!
