Reading

たくす
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading for this one is unusual, but I will entrust you with the knowledge of why to help you remember it! This uses the on'yomi reading and not the kun'yomi, as you might expect, because the here is the old-fashioned version of the verb する.

Luckily, you learned this reading when you learned the kanji, so it's unusual but hopefully not too hard!
