Reading

かくちょう
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own. Of course, just to be dirty, the people who made up this word decided to use a kanji that read as かく. Dirty old monks that could see the future and speak English, ugh.
