In Japanese, how to pronounce the words "Yao" and "Ji" as words in a name?

Yao's handwriting is rare, but it is usually pronounced and read, yo.

If you are lucky, you can read Yoshinoya, such as the famous Yoshinoya in よしの12420IS.

You can also read kichi. For example, in GTO, the hero's name is ぇぃきちち. Ying Ji Ekich.
