Otofu (pronunciation: /ɔtɔɸʊ/) is a city district in the oblast of Toşe in Yakormonyo. It served as the capital of the nation since 1565, replacing the old capital, Ony.
Etymology
The word Otofu came from 'Oto Upu'; Monyo 'oto' (water, colloquial) and 'upu' (of, archaic), together 'of the water'. Eventually, it was shortened and became 'Otofu'.
History
16th Century
Before 1515, Oto Upu (what it was called then) was one of the northernmost towns in the Yaharan Empire. When the Empire broke up, Oto Upu and its surrounding towns of Ävurg (Avot), Äfuxa (Aphucke), and Ítomvurg (Ytauna) declared their independence as the Duchy of Otopu. It became the capital of Otopu until the nation united with the neighboring Duchy of Pexä (Pekha), wherein the capital was moved to Ony. On 1565, by order of Duke Otohua Samejkhemy, Oto Upu became the capital of the United Duchies of Peccy-Otopu, and became Otofu.

Otofu's main landmark is the Repoşota Castle, which is in the middle of Otofu's two main lakes, Lakes Ryppi and Usotu, which has been the seat of the Monyo government until 1898. It was then moved to the Kanyoto Castle, which is the current seat of the government.
