## Trivia

* Kagekamuro’s large face on lower half of his body is the basis of the Okamuro, a giant head Yokai that is said to appear outside of doors of anyone who has heard of it after a week.
	+ Shinohars wanted Kagekamuro to have a giant face on the entire lower body as he doesn’t think there hasn’t been enough characters like that.
* To make it easier to understand that the Gedoshu are Japanese-style enemies, Shinohara gave Kagekamuro an armor-like design.
* Shinohara made the design separated into lower and upper halves.
	+ He also made it that the upper body-half mirrors the giant face on the lower-half while upside-down, as if it was reflected on the surface of water.
