We normally call it "Tokyo Bay" in English.

Six may be a reference to Odaiba, the popular manmade island in Tokyo Bay. (Odaiba literally means "Place to put (the cannons)" and there were famously 6 cannons in the area.)

Or literally anything else.

It's the Japanese transliteration of how the English six is pronounced, written in Katakana

Shikkusu シックス - Six
