==Trivia==
*In Hakaba Episode 3, Mononoke mentioned that Mizugami fell asleep since the rampage of Azuma no Ōnamazu (東の大なまず, lit. Ōnamazu of the East or Ōnamazu of the Azuma region), but this is referring to the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake rather than actual yōkai while Ōnamazu was said to caused the disaster in the GeGeGe no Kitarō manga.
*Several merchandized figures of the character depicts hind-legs to make the toy stand.
