That would be 'Kame'
かめ (kame) (kah-meh) is "turtle" in Japanese, but the correct word for "tortoise" is リクガメ (Rikugame) (Ree-koo-gah-meh) - notice that the word (kame) is still present, but the k has now changed to a g sound. The kanji for the word turtle is 亀 but the word for tortoise is usually written in katakana as tortoises are not native to Japan.
The word tortoise forms a regular plural, tortoises.
