    Grams, kilograms and pounds all measure mass. They’re just “stretched” differently by this or that factor.

    There is also a “pound” - lbf - that’s a confusingly named separate unit for force. E.g. pressure can be measured in pounds per square inch - it is a force distributed over an area, not a mass.

    I was mostly providing the IPA as a joke. It’s just copied from somewhere, I could probably track it back down and you could take it up with them. Certainly nothing in “door” or “hadouken” is anything close to an “oo” no matter how they’re all written.

    In Japanese the syllable definitely does not rhyme with “too”, that’s closer to う which is not a vowel (albeit a character) in this word. Either way this is my bad for trying to use English phonetically.

    I should’ve said “look up a video where it’s pronounced by a Japanese person” up front. :p

    [hadoːkẽꜜɴ]

    Or if the IPA is not helpful:

    “Ha” as in “hard” but with a shorter vowel, not the æ thing from “had”.

    “Door” without the R - the stress is here (hadouken). The important part is avoiding “oh” which sounds extremely thickly Anglo (“chipoohhhtlayyyyyy”)

    Ken is ken, I guess.
