 		Kujkuri (Kujukuri)
Ok, this is my first post, and I'm fairly new to these forums--so I wasn't too sure how to tag this. I also Searched and did not see anything, but, I've been wrong before...

Anyways, on the T.I.D.O site in Tagruato History Fun Fact #33 it talks about Kujkuri Beach in Japan. I did some searching for this and I found the actuall spelling is Kujukuri. I realize I am propably reaching here, but I really want there to still be something going on here. It could simply be a typo, and I'm freakin out over nothin. Ya never know though.

If this has been talked about or is simply pointless, let me know...

 		Sounds like a typo. Nothing comes up in Google.

 		Sorry to bump this.

In the Japanese language, there are no single letters (except vowels). When a single letter needs to be used- the J in "Kujukuri, for example- they will use the "u" form of the sound, but that "u" will not be pronounced in speech (like, how "ogenki desu ka" is romanized as such but it is said "ogenki dess ka"). Their spelling of the words as Kujkuri is most likely just romanization of the correct pronounciation. ^_^

Wow. That explains a lot. (I'm a huge Godzilla fan, and, whenever possible, I watch the movies in Japanese w/subtitles. I always wondered why stuff like that [omitted vowels and such] occurred. Now I know.) Thank you.
