It's actually i (as in wit)-sue-zoo. The Japanese phonetic alphabet only has short "i" sounds.

Not deaf just a bit of CRAFT setting in. Quite often it is advantageous not hearing some things!!!!!!!!!

The same goes for Hino (Toymota's truck division), but I reckon we can all be excused for pronouncing it the "Oztralian" way:)
