Jaga Pokkuru was named after the dwarf from Ainu folklore, Koropokkuru, whose name is Ainu for "he who lives below the leaves of the butterbur plant." Legend holds that Koropokkuru is too shy to be seen but is kind enough to share food by putting it near the homes of Ainu in the middle of the night. Koropokkuru is said to be a god of happiness.
