'''Kakagawa''' is a company that appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

It may also be a subtle language pun, as "gawa" means river in Japanese and, while kaka has no Japanese meaning, in English, it is another word for "shit", making it Shit Creek. The [[Kakagawa Building|headquarters for Kakagawa]] are located on Myung, [[Alderney City]], [[Alderney]], near the [[Auto Eroticar]] dealership, and they also have a large warehouse in [[LVA Freight Depot]], [[Las Venturas]], [[San Andreas]].
