Trivia[]
- The Japanese name ""Kougaigā" comes from two Japanese words: "Kougai", meaning "Armored Turtle", and "Gā", meaning "tusk". Combined, the two words create a name that conjures up images of a stealthy, deadly ninja with abilities comparable to those of a wild animal.
- Kougai is also the name of a legendary ninja clan in Japan, famous for its stealth and espionage techniques.
- Some fans believe that "Kougaigā" may also be a reference to the character "Koga" from the manga and anime series "Basilisk". Koga was a ninja member of the Kouga clan, known for his exceptional combat skills.
- Another possible interpretation is that "Kougaigā" is a combination of "Kouga" (ninja clan) and "Gundam" (mecha anime series). This interpretation can be seen as a reference to the technological nature of the J Ninja boss, who uses advanced weapons and armor.
- There are other possible interpretations of the name, but the most likely interpretation is the one that links it to the Kouga ninja clan.
