I use the Brave Browser, which comes with built-in decorative wallpaper-ish screens. They’ve got one that seems to be an Asian street scene but there’s one prominent sign with Roman alphabet lettering spelling out “NAMBA”. Every time it comes up, I misread it as “NAMBLA” _eek_

This. Namba is a fun place. Major train station, indoor/outdoor shopping mall, several shopping arcades, theatres, on and on. The super-touristy area Dotonbori, which you’ve likely seen a picture of at some point in your life, is part of Namba.

Namba is best known as the city's main south-central railway terminus: JR, Kintetsu, Nankai, Hanshin, and three Osaka Metro subway lines have stations there.
