[edit] Ō-ban or Dai-ban?

In this case, "Ōban-yaki" (大判焼き) is right. I present a on-line Japanese language dictionary for reference.[1] Of course, although it can also read as "Daiban-yaki" (or Taiban-yaki), it is not supported by a dictionary. --Nightshadow28 07:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I won't argue the validity of the online dictionary, as I rely upon it myself. However, I've not heard of any one refer to them as Obanyaki in my two years in Japan, and the native speakers that I have asked tell me that Daibanyaki is the correct reading of the Kanji.Gomi monkey 10:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. You are right. Generally, many Japanese loanwords from China, are used with an "on" reading. However, there are also some exceptions which are called "Yutō yomi" (湯桶読み; kun - on reading) or "Jyūbako yomi" (重箱読み; on - kun reading). "大" (on: dai / kun: ō-kii 大きい), "判" (on: han or ban / kun: waka-ru 判る), so "ōban" is the first case. This may be misuse, but it has been establishing. For example, above-mentioned on-line dictionary or this.[2] --Nightshadow28 12:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
