Name

There are a few different possible origins for the company's name:

• The name may have been derived from the Japanese city of Kakegawa, where there is a factory that makes glass for televisions.
• As "kaka" may have been derived from "cack", i.e. "shit", and as "gawa" means "river" in Japanese, the name may be a play on the phrase "shit creek".
• In the Filipino language "kakagawa" translates to "just made" in English.
