## Etymology

Eiko's name **月見英子** is a reference to Zhuge Kongming's wife, Lady Huang, who is thought to be named Huang Yueying **(黃月英)** . In Chinese, 黃 means yellow, which is also a reference to Eiko's blonde hair.

* The name **Eiko** means "excellent, fine" (英) (**ei**) and "child" (子) (**ko**).
* Eiko's surname **Tsukimi** means "moon viewing/viewing the moon" (月見).

## Trivia

* Eiko shares similiarities with Kongming's former master, Liu Bei. Kongming had listened to Eiko sing 3 times before deciding to offer his service to help her accomplish her goals. This is similar to how Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang 3 times before deciding to help him. Eiko was also on the brink of giving up on her lifelong dream, similar to how Liu Bei was becoming hopeless until he met Zhuge Liang.

* In Lady's Ready Night, the design on Eiko's shirt is a nod to the protagonist of the hit game, Yume Nikki.
