A bit of Googling seems to come up with a resounding Go-toe.

Apparently the original Japanese shows that the second syllable should be twice the length of the first, too!

this one looks good ,,,so ,im going with this one.

Almost correct. All Japanese words have been translated phonetically into English.   Go Toe is right BUT in Japanese each syllable is the same length and quite short ( don't tell the Americans that there is no she in Hiroshima). I have included a sound sample with my amatuerish pronunciations of Gotoh, Hiroshima and Matsushita (the original name for Panasonic).
