 * He is considered the older brother of the group Orihime-boshi, due to him helping when they where starting on Nijisanji and their interactions.
 * He’s noted to have a “handsome” voice by many of his colleagues, and has been complimented directly about it numerous times. Because of this, first time collaborations with him seem to leave others nervous and flustered.

 * His favourite foods are tomatoes (the larger ones rather than the smaller ones) and sour food (such as lemons and Umeboshi). When he was little, he used to drink Pokka Lemon straight from the bottle.
