That's funny, because I initially wrote it as RAMPO two or three times and
then corrected it to the Ranpo that Crush gave!

The humor goes further, in that (iirc) the syllabic character itself
is/says "N," except in the case where it is followed by "B-" or "P-" (so
Rampo, Rambo, Tombo, Tompopo).  Slippery little character! <g>

To-to-ro!
Ra-pyu-ta!
Mo-no-no-ke!
Chi-hi-ro!
