- This monster is based on Hiruko, the first and the abandoned child of Izanagi and Izanami.
- Hiruko usually spells 蛭子 (literally "leech child/boy"), but is more likely to be the masculine equivalent of Hirume (literally "sun girl") as in "Bujin Hirume", therefore it could mean "sun boy" instead. The word 彦 (hiko "prince", literally "sun boy") was also based on the notion of "a boy descended from the sun, or the solar goddess Amaterasu".
- This monster's silhouette appears in the artwork of "Bujincident", attempting to control "Bujin Hirume" as mentioned in its flavor text. This monster also appears in "Bujincandescence".
- The 5 "Bujin" Beast-Warrior-Type monsters with Levels resemble characters of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX through their colors and head shapes. This monster resembles Sartorius.
- Just as Sartorius brainwashed Alexis Rhodes into joining the Society of Light, this monster corrupted "Bujin Hirume" to turn against her allies as "Bujinki Amaterasu".
- The Spanish TCG lore of this card suffers from a mistranslation, as the word "eventually" was translated as "eventualmente", which means "by chance" or "temporarily".
