-'''Kakagawa''' is a company that appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. In one of the trailers for GTA IV, the Kakagawa logo appears on a computer monitor in [[Roman Bellic|Roman's]] taxi firm. The logo also appears on shipping containers across [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. The name may have been derived from the [[Japan]]ese city [[wp:Kakegawa, Shizuoka|Kakegawa]], where there is a factory that makes glass for televisions. 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]].

+==Name==
+There are a few different possible origins for the company's name:
+*The name may have been derived from the [[Japan]]ese city of [[wp:Kakegawa, Shizuoka|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''".
