Kamay-ah-mayah (Like with your first pronunciation) See that's where I'm confused, because I'm watching the first encounter with Imperfect Cell and Piccolo and everyone keeps saying it as the second pronunciation. The second pronunciation is correct. "Kamayamaya" is a mispronunciation from the early dub.

The Kamehameha (かめはめ波は, lit. "Kamehame Wave") is the first energy attack shown in the Dragon Ball series. The Kamehameha is the most widely used finishing attack in the Dragon Ball series, and is Goku's signature technique. It is also a signature attack of the students of the Turtle School.
Akira Toriyama actually tried a number of poses when he was alone in order to decide the best pose for the Kamehameha. After much contemplation, he could not decide on a name for his "Kame" attack, so he asked his wife (Nachi Mikami), who came up with the name. She told Akira that it would be easy to remember the name of the attack if he used the n...
In the live-action film adaptation Dragonball Evolution, the technique is quite similar to the Kamehameha used in the anime and manga, however with very few differences depending on the user: Roshi has to channel ki from his chest to his arms before he releases it through his hands while Goku has to channel ki outside of him forming an aura as he crosses his arms in an X shape while the rest of the technique is similar to how Goku usually uses it. Also, unlike the anime, it has more uses than the typical Kamehameha, it can light torches as well as be used as a defibrillator (the latter demonstrated by Roshi saving Goku from near death after Mai shoots him). The more concentration put into it will make the Kamehameha stronger (such as when Goku combines his normal form with Oozaru form into the attack and forms the Kamehameha into a traditional beam rather than a small flow of energy).
Goku also uses the Kamehameha as his Ultimate Attack in the video game based on the movie.

The Kamehameha virtually appears in every licensed Dragon Ball video games up to date being it is the signature technique of the main protagonist, Goku, and also appears in several other crossover video games that features Goku and various other Dragon Ball characters.
The popularity of the Kamehameha meant that it has appeared in media outside of Dragon Ball, as well as it being performed in real life.
Anime
•In Eric Chahi's Another World, the charged beam blast from the laser pistol appears similar to the Kamehameha, which appears to be influenced from the Dragon Ball manga books he was reading during breaks.
•The main character of Gin Tama, Gintoki Sakata, can sometimes be seen practicing Kamehameha. This also carries over into his appearance in J-Stars Victory Vs., where Gintoki himself is able to use a Kamehameha that has a chance of failure (where it will fire a black wind instead).
•Kiyotaka Ishimaru from Danganronpa referenced the Kamehameha in a joke.
•Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen also references the Kamehameha, wishing that he would be able to perform one.
•The name "Kamehameha" serves as a pun based off of the name of the Hawaiian King Kamehameha I, coupled with the Japanese word for "turtle" kame (亀, kame), due to Master Roshi also being known as the Turtle Hermit, and ha (波, ha), meaning "wave". "However, the first four characters かめはめ (Kamehame) have no inherent meaning in Japanese as they are in hiragana, which emphasizes their pronunciation.
•In the infamous AB Groupe dub, widely known as the Big Green dub, several attacks and abilities are incorrectly referred to as "Kamehameha". The most frequent cases are for Kaio-ken, the Spirit Bomb, and even transforming into a Super Saiyan. The former is an ironic case of its own since the Kamehameha Wave is incorrectly referred to as "Kaio-ken" at one point in the original Saban dub. The most absurd instance of the latter occurs when Vegeta shouts "Kamehameha!" while transforming into a Super Saiyan in The Return of Cooler, despite the fact he has never used the Kamehameha wave in barely any official Dragon Ball media.
•The Swedish dub also has this.
•When referred to as the "Kamehameha Wave" in most English dubbed media, the "wave" part of the attack is technically repeated if one translates the attack literally, making it "Kamehame Wave Wave". However, it should be noted that the Funimation dub used the Hawaiian pronunciation of "Kamehameha" whenever it is referred to as the "Kamehameha Wave".
Kamehameha (known as Paiʻea at birth), [3] was born to Kekuʻiapoiwa II, the niece of Alapainui, the usurping ruler of Hawaii Island who had killed the two legitimate heirs of Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku during civil war. By most accounts he was born in Ainakea, Kohala, Hawaii. [4] His father was Keōua Kalanikupuapa'ikalaninui; [5] [6 ...
