Localization

Kofu, Japan

The original Japanese article talks about hunting for a Tsuchinoko in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. The Tsuchinoko is a Japanese Yokai that shares some similarities with the American Hoop Snake. There have been various purported sightings and bounties for anyone who can capture or prove the existence of this cryptid, a featured shared between the Tsuchinoko and and other famous cryptids, including Bigfoot.
The Korean release also uses Kofu City. The hunted creature is called 네로(미확인 동물), which roughly translates as "Nero (unidentified animal)," which does not appear to match any particular Korean cryptid.

The North American version changes the target of the hunt to Bigfoot, which is a well-known cryptid in North America. The location is changed to the fictional Redding, Oregon. Bigfoot is associated with the Pacific Northwest region, which includes Oregon.
The PAL versions follow the North American version in using Bigfoot and Redding, Oregon.

In Reality

Kofu is an extant real-world location.

West Coast of US

Redding, Oregon doesn't exist in real life. The name is similar two towns in the Pacific Northwest Region; Redmond, Oregon, and Redmond, Washington, as well as the Northern California town, Redding. It is likely that "Redding, Oregon" is an amalgam of the California Town and the State of Oregon.
Hunts for the mythical creature have taken place in both Northern California and the neighboring Pacific Northwest region for decades. Though Northern California borders the region, it is not considered part of the Pacific Northwest. The first "Bigfoot prints" were recorded in the region around Redding, CA in 1958. Bigfoot sightings have occurred around Northern California since the 1970s, including sightings in/around Redding that occurred in 1992, 2005, and 2018.
