once there was "bocho" then "hocho", but the correct pronunciation of the kanji according to http://www.j-talk.com/nihongo/ is actually houchou (often in english"hōchō") which i believe should be perceived upon as the uttermost correct one.

I think the question is not how it is pronounced, but how it is written. I would have to check, but I believe we're using the hepburn system. A quick check also indicates more usage of bocho than of houchou. Hence I think bocho is right. However, I have no objection to an also called ... addition to list all names. -- Chris 73 | Talk 17:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this section be entitled "sashimi hōchō" with tako hiki as a subgroup? It seems as though sashimi hōchō is the more general case. --User:Anonymous 1:18, 12 November 2007 (PST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.251.137 (talk)
