Temujin would be Tem-oo-jin
Keisuke (I'm guessing) is Kai-soo-kay
Hope this helps

Actually, I think he meant as far as typing the names out, in game.

Also, I myself would pronounce the names as Temujin (Tea-moo-jin)
and Keisuke (Kiss-kay).

As a side note, Temujin, whose name is based off of the birth name of Ghengis Khan, is pronounced "TEM-oo-jin" (as far as I can recall, at least), and Keisuke, whose name comes from Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid, is pronounced "KEH-i-soo-keh."

But of course, you can pronounce them however you like.

I will try to pronounce them correctly, if that is okay with you.

I did some checking on the names.

Keisuke is actually pronounced Kay-skay.

The "KE" forms a hard "K" with a long "A" sound.
The "i" falls silent.
The "SU" makes just an "ESS" sound, with the "U" falling silent.
And at the end is another "KE". Which of course makes the hard "K"
sound, with the long "A".

It seems from some of my understanding, that the Japanese language is set up
for a consonant and a vowel.

I may be a little off on my explanation.
But this is the gist of what was explained to me and from some of the material I have read.

Of course Temujin is another story.
That will need a little more looking into

Well, I stand corrected. Just a few things though: diphthongs (like the "ai" sound in "tie") don't exist in Japanese. Keeping that in mind, the Japanese hiragana behind "Keisuke" is "けいすけ" -- ke-i-su-ke. So while the first two syllables may sound like "kay" if you say it fast enough, it's still two separate vowels. Similarly from the hiragana, the last syllable is thus "ke" as in 'kettle', not "kay."

So, loosely, "Kays-ke".

As for Temujin, to be frank, I was just basing his pronunciation from a line spoken in Mongolian by a native voice actor for another game (And re-listening to it, the emphasis should be in the second syllable - "tem-OO-jin").
