"Hello" in Japanese

Does anybody know how to say "hello" in Japanese? I did a quick google search, and the first three translators I found came up with nothing.

Konichiwa, bitches.

Isn't it "Moshi Moshi"?

I'm not positive.

I think that is casual and only on the phone. Whatever one uses, it's important to end with, "...Mr. Roboto."

Moshi Moshi is how you answer the phone

Konnichiwa is "Good Day"
Konbanwa is "Good Evening"

O hayo gozaimasu is "How are you" (typical morning greeting)

Hajime mashite is "pleased to meet you" (only used the first time you meet someone)

That is "Good Morning" not "Hello" I believe.

Good morning: ohayo gozaimasu

Pronunciation as my last post, but ignore the 'u' at the end.
