This katakana spelling is shared by mathematician Michael Artin (ミハイル・アルティン), historian Michael Karpovich (ミハイル・カルポーヴィチ), and Russian and Ukrainian singer Michael Minsky (ミハイル・ミンスキー).
Modern katakana was extended to write foreign words and names more faithfully. Michael pronounced mi-khiel in katakana is ミハイル read mihairu. Hiraganaみはいる offers a softer, flowing line.
