I'm positive. I found this...

Incorrect Term: Mugen ("mew-gen" or "mew-jen")
Correct Term: Mugen ("moo-gen" with a hard G)

This is yet another Japanese company whose name is massacred on a daily basis by us ignorant Americans. If you'll remember back to GoZigen for your first Japanese lesson, we'll note that the "G" is always a hard G, like in "goat". Also, Japanese doesn't have a syllable with the "mew" sound, just "moo". In actuality, "moo" would be an bastardization of this Japanese syllable, as the U in "Mu" is devoiced and sounds something like "meuh".

Know what else? Japanese syllables aren't separated by sound as in English. They're separated by alphabetical value. English speakers would say "Mugen" has two syllables: Mu-gen. Japanese speakers would say "Mugen" has three syllables: Mu-Ge-N. If you were to see "Mugen" written in modern Katakana Japanese handwriting, it would be three characters; one for each syllable.
