"AHOAHOAHOAHO"
This is a rough translation of the gibberish Kuwata said once he was cornered after being discovered as Sayaka Maizono's killer. "Aho" is slang for idiot/baka and is mostly said in the Kansai region of Japan. In Japanese DR fandom, Leon may be referred to as "apo," (アポ), which was his last line of dialogue before the class trial ended. It means the same as "aho," just with the h pronounced differently.
In the game's official English translation, this dialogue was changed to "stupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupid". "Apo," became "stu...pid..."

This is purposefully an incomplete list, as Kuwata is shipped with much of Dangan Ronpa's cast. Please add any notable relationships in fanworks if they are missing.
In Kanji, Kuwata is usually represented in a pairing names with 桑 (kuwa). For Katakana, it's usually クワ (kuwa). In Hiragana, アポ (apo) and くわ (kuwa) are common.
