Look up Coria del Rio in Spain, too. A lot of people have the "Japón" surname. "Japón" it's Spanish for Japan.

Just under 2000 Spaniards have this surname, and to this day they primarily reside in Seville province, which was long the only allowed port of entry to peninsular Spain for imported goods from Spanish overseas territories.
