== Trivia ==
* The name BlackRose came from a nightmare she had. She chose the Heavy Blade class due to a suggestion that her brother Fumikazu made to her.
* BlackRose's starting weapon is a level one sword called Steelblade.
* In .hack//G.U. Rebirth, if the player has a saved data from the Games, Haseo receives an email from BlackRose. Though, canonically, this email was sent to Kite right after the events of the Games. This email reveals the events around her and her brother after the game's events, and suggests she is in love with Kite.
* The representative flower for Yokohama, where BlackRose lives, is the rose.
* In the U.S. version of the games, BlackRose's references to Kujuukuri, Chiba were replaced with Malibu, California.
* According to .hack//Archives_03 LIGHT EDITION BlackRose's character model stands at 165, or 5'4"
* The Shopkeeper from .hack//LINK: Twilight Knights has a picture of BlackRose in his collection.
* BlackRose was originally set to appear in Redemption but was removed due to time restraints. Part of the design, namely the sword, was reused for .hack//Link.
* There is some inconsistency with the color of BlackRose's PC Wave Tattoos. Most depictions have them as yellow, while others, show them the same shade of pink as her hair. Yellow is her most common color however.
* in 4koma, BlackRose is portrayed sometimes with a bag of potato chips.
* Blackrose and her partner, Kite, will appear in Project X Zone, a crossover game between three companies: Namco Bandai Games, Capcom and Sega.
