1. I have never heard anyone mispronounce Kyoto in AmE. Japanese is actually not a very good example of this phenomenon because almost all of its sounds exist in English, unlike those of most Germanic, Semitic, or Romance languages.

The way you pronounce Kyoto is most likely an approximate of the name that you are fooling yourself into thinking is the native pronunciation. I have nothing against approximates; indeed, I find them ideal for this situation.

As I showed in my example, the orthography of certain languages or the orthography of certain transliteration systems makes it such that you cannot use English orthography to properly pronounce words. Those who are not familiar with the sounds of the other language may become very confused or not even recognize the sounds as, well, sounds (ch in German is a good example) so it is in the best interest of all parties to use an approximate that better meshes with the language being spoken, in this case English. Your example really makes no sense as the idea is to draw language B closer to language A, not introduce a completely different language to add to the confusion.

2. You clearly have no idea what I'm talking about- which you would if you were at a fluent or near-fluent level in multiple languages- so I'll let you think what you think.

Japanese is actually not a very good example of this phenomenon because almost all of its sounds exist in English, unlike those of most Germanic, Semitic, or Romance languages.

Exactly, which is why your argument about how some words can't be pronouced correctly in English has absolutely nothing to do with anything being discussed here. So why are you bringing it up?

Because we're talking about -izing foreign words in general to aid in comprehension. Japanese sounds are not so different that they aren't recognized as existing like ch in German or gh or ' in Arabic, but there is still the issue of the orthography of the transliteration not being consistent with English orthography. So you -ize pronunciations to aid in the comprehension of those not familiar with the sounds of the Japanese language. When others are familiar with Japanese, feel free to use the Japanese pronunciation; when they're not, -ize it.

The fact that you are unable to understand any of this honestly makes me doubt if you speak a language other than English fluently as these are common issues for multilinguals dealing with others unfamiliar with the spoken aspect of a certain language.
