Not "onomatopoeia." がぎぐげご are the [i]voiced[/b] versions of かきくけこ, which are the voiceless velar plosives. Although actually がぎぐげご could be velar fricative or velar nasal rather than a plosive in some dialects for some words. I actually speak like that because I picked it up somewhere when I was in the US before I went to Japan.
