“Let me just fetch some drawing tools out of this chest….”

A cross between the Japanese word for bear, kuma, and exactly how you’re not meant to pronounce it.

But the name Wakkanai makes me imagine the people asking being told “dunno”, translating that accurately into Japanese, and *then* writing it down as the placename.

Assuming any of the three or more definitions of ‘Goons’ is valid here.
