Probably more in Sao Paulo or areas with a large Japanese population. Never heard of this in Rio de Janeiro.

Pedra, papel e tesoura in Minas, anyway.

Same in Porto Alegre. If I heard "Jo-kem-po" I'd think someone from a younger generation that learned those works from some TV series.

I can provide my anecdote. I prefer jokempo, and I miss meetings with other nerds in the CCMQ and going to Jambo bookstore. Late 90s. Then using this with colleagues at the local universities.

I'm from Amapá and as a kid (~30 years ago) I remember hearing "jo-ken-pô" a lot. Not anymore as an adult (people just say "pedra-papel-tesoura") but if you said jo-ken-pô I'm sure people would understand what you meant.
