Greece/Japan is a somewhat uncommon pairing involving the characters Greece and Japan. The pairing is sometimes referred to as Giripan, a portmanteau of the first few syllables of Greece's name in Japanese and the last syllable of Japan's name. In the Japanese fandom, this pairing is called Nukonbi (ぬこんび), combining a slang word for cat, nuko, with the word for combination, konbi.
