Kago Ai (Ai Kago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) has the kanji 加護 and if you say this in korean it is like "ga ho" so a little similar. in chinese it is "jia hu" which has more similarity in sound to korean. so it is like chinese <-> korean <-> japanese in terms of how they sound together.

加護 is in fact made up of the 音読み (onyomi - ON) chinese origin sound/reading for these characters. the 訓読み (kunyomi - KUN) japanese origin reading/sound are the other type of reading. for those two characters, according to the dictionary are:
加 ON = か (ka) KUN = 加える (kuwaeru), 加わる (kuwawaru) English - add; addition; increase; join; include; Canada
護 ON = ご (go) KUN = まもる (mamoru) English - safeguard; protect




that is about all the help i can give.
