With the Japanese pronunciation, Tōhō, as it should be.
The "funen" part of my name is Japanese, which means "not able to burn". I am slightly pyrophobic, so I tend not to get burned (literally, mind you).

I usually pronounce it as Tohou... but I do know how it is pronounced in Japanese (which sounds better if you get the right accent)

As OP posted, I pronounced it in this way, but acknowledge the proper pronunciation is Toe-Hoe.

...it isn't, though.  :derp:

You want this sound. The vowel sound in "Toe" is əʊ

As an Australian I am duty bound to say it using only the very minimal energy.

Thus, pronounce toe, but give a slight rising inflection on the t-o transition. t-Oh. Tuh-oh. Tuho.

TBH I actually prefer the sound of "Towhow"; Toho lets you do the touhou laugh though, so it probably wins out in the end.

I have never pronounced or heard Toe come anywhere close to the same as "tug" or"took."  It is pronounced as toʊ.
