Taori is from The Garden of God, the first sequel to The Blue Lagoon book by H.D. Stacpoole. The young couple died and left their son to be adopted by Richard's father, who took him back to the same island to live. The sailors named the kid Dick after his father, but when he grew up and met a beautiful island girl she just started calling him Taori.

I used to think The Blue Lagoon would make an excellent video game, and Virtual Villagers is very close to the way I imagined it.
