It's monkey-patched by yaml lib, which was bundled with Ruby.

0% ruby -e 'p nil.taguri'
-e:1:in `<main>': undefined method `taguri' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
1% ruby -ryaml -e 'p nil.taguri'
"tag:yaml.org,2002:null"

We don't have any Japanese related name ever, as far as I can remember. :-)
