The English name of this glitch stems directly from the Japanese name. "Dokokashira" is a transliteration of the Japanese word "どこかしら", which literally means "Where is it". The rest of the name is simply a translation of the Japanese name. The Japanese name is based on the fact that the {{player}} is caused to warp around to seemingly random positions after walking through the door into {{ga|Blue}}'s house, which can cause the player to become lost and may make some Japanese players exclaim "どこかしら".
The English name of this glitch stems directly from the Japanese name. "Dokokashira" is a transliteration of the Japanese word "どこかしら", which translates to "somewhere" (or something more close to "somehow," except it specifies a place). The rest of the name is simply a translation of the Japanese name. The Japanese name is taken from the widely-known gadget "''Dokodemo-Door''" ("どこでもドア", literally "''anywhere-door''") from the Japanese manga ''Doraemon'', which is a door-shaped machine that takes people to an arbitrary distant place, by entering the destination and just opening it. The fact the glitch makes the {{player}} to warp to distant places after walking through the door into {{ga|Blue}}'s house, was close to the feature of the original gadget, except that the destinations are seemingly random - hence getting "Somewhere-door."
