==Trivia==
*Although Miu is an anime-original character, she has notable similarities in backgrounds to Mary, Kitaro's wife from After GeGeGe no Kitarō; both Miu and Mary love Kitaro, they are heirs of tribal leaders of tropical islands, their islands are connected to the other world, Kitaro nearly died or actually died and resurrected by the girls in the events, and Amami Tribe is close to humans.
===Etymology===
Miu's name is likely from "Ocean" in Japanese; as the kanji 海 can be read as "Umi". Where Miu's name in katakana can be rearranged to "Umi".
