## Trivia

	+ His surname Momoko means "Peach Child".
* Hakuto bears a striking resemblance to Bell Cranel from light novel series *DanMachi*. In fact, Ieyasu refers to Hakuto as *Bell* in the series, and he has been called *White Rabbit* by several people, primarily Nobuna, in reference to Bell Cranel's nickname, *Rabbit's Foot*.
* Hakuto has an secluded base deep in the Momogashima woodlands, hidden from others, which is filled with different types of plant life and flora, both common and exotic, from all around the world, including Heaven, Hell, Yomi and Secret Londan, even some believed to be extinct.
	+ According to Hakuto, only nine people have seen his base: Momozono, Momoji, Natsumi, Harumi, Akimi, Fuyumi, Ieyasu, Tatsuya and an unnamed friend.
* Hakuto was created because Dr DrumKit wanted an junior that looks up to Ieyasu, similar to Gasper Vladi from *High School DxD*.
