Fun facts for anyone unaware, not only does Kokomo sound like Totoro but it is the name of a Beach Boys song. The song is about a couple taking a trip to Kokomo, a fictional beach. So it's very appropriate that Jacob Wysocki's Kokomo would be searching for a beach, given that it wasn't real. But there are beaches named Kokomo now because they were named after the song. Which is a beautiful idea thematically— the love of something can bring it into the real world.

I'm so happy I could provide this info for so many people!

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.
