There is no such Japanese word as far as I know. Possibly Chinese?

This seems not to be a Japanese common noun. If this is (coming from) a Japanese word, it's a name, a logotype or..., a riddle or so.
If this is Chinese, I guess it doesn't make a complete sentence.
Maybe this is a Japanese / Chinese transliteration of a certain language, using readings and/or meanings of the characters.

In Japanese the three characters are:
- 豪 (goh; tsuyoshi and takeshi for person's names)
= significantly rich, strong, etc.; a short for Australia.
- 至 (itaru; shi)
= to lead to; to reach; till. 
- 我 (ware; ga)
= I (myself), we (ourselves).

I could only find one instance of this on the web on a chinese site in a sentence about "adding a member to favorites". It is probably either incorrect, or incomplete as it doesn't seem to appear anywhere else.

Taken one at a time, they mean "strong, complete, oneself" and conjures images or poorly thought out tattoos. However, you can seek help on the following site if it is a tattoo:

Yes, it is a tattoo.

I have also tried to search for "goushiga", and the only thing I have found is in connection with a Himawari restaurant in Madrid: "Gou Shiga's perfect Tokyo-style 'izakaya' (pub)."
(http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=105229). Maybe he is the owner of the restaurant?

Anyway, thanks for all answers.
