See options below, or ask the owner of the name


Explanation:
Riki, Chikara, etc.
This name can be read many ways. The only way to know for sure is to ask the owner of the name.
See the first reference for a discussion highlighting the difficulties.
See the second reference for some online hits for the name. With context, you might be able to find the person you're looking for.
