I have no idea what that word is, or how it should be pronounced. I assume it's a word pronounced differently than it looks like it should, kinda like Nachitoches. Maybe not a place name, though. I'll find out after I post this comment

It's a Japanese word, and so should be pronounced with four even syllables, with a like ah, u like oo, e like eh, and the s hissy.

Yeah, I had to google it. Apparently, it's something related to swords/swordmaking? Nachitoches is something like 'nack a tish.'
Kugai:
Yup
