==Trivia==
* Iwatodai Station is likely inspired from , a major interchange railway station in Minato, Tokyo.
* In Persona 5, Wild-Duck Burger is directly referenced in a scandal on June 1st, where an employee is fired for posting a "nude chef selfie," damaging the company's stock and making customers reluctant to go there.
** This however was most likely a set-up for a scandal, as his co-workers vouched for his seriousness at work, and even the man in question stated that he was "fully nude before he realized it." Additionally, the scandal occurred just before a stockholder meeting.
