* They are based on Sanmoto Gorozaemon (sometimes also referred as [[wikipedia:山本五郎左衛門|Yamamoto Gorozaemon]]), a demon lord who appears in the Edo period story collection [[wikipedia:稲生物怪録|''Ino Mononoke Roku'']] (稲生物怪録, can be translated as "Ino's Monster Record"). | |||
** In the story, a young samurai named Ino Heitaro is haunted by various youkai sent by the demon for 30 days, due to a bet Gorozaemon made with another demon about scaring 100 courageous boys. In the end, Gorozaemon reveals himself and admires the young man's courage, offering to help him in the future. | |||
* Their research files state that they are "neither man nor woman". This is possibly a reference to the ending of ''Ino Mononoke Roku'', where Gorozaemon states that he is neither a tengu nor a fox or a tanuki. | |||
* Their Charge Skill, Nubatama no Yo Chimimouryou is derived from ''nubatama'', a Japanese [[wikipedia:Makurakotoba|pillow word]] for nouns such as "night", "black", or "dream", and ''chimimouryou'' (literally "demons and monsters"), a general term for various supernatural phenomena. | |||
