「堀田」 as "Hosoda"
Hello, checking both as well as a Japanese names dictionary, Hotta is the primary reading, while Hosoda is not among them. The only place where I found that reading was Google Translate, so I can only assume you used that to determine the reading (strangely enough, spacing the two parts of the name does give the proper result). Please do not use machine translation for Wikipedia articles. It does not substitute for an actual translation and machine translation is notoriously bad when it comes to Japanese (not to mention names are one area where even the Japanese struggle to always guess the reading from the characters alone). Instead, you should consult Japanese dictionaries or resources such as the subject's Japanese Wikipedia article for the proper reading. Thanks. Opencooper (talk) 04:28, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
