Trivia

 * Kou is probably a reference to Oichi/Ichi (お市) who is also the younger sister of infamous Oda Nobunaga (a hint about her affection for Shibata Katsuie). See Oichi.
 * Kou is also probably a reference to Gou/Ogou (江/お江), the 3rd daughter of Oichi. "Kou" is another pronunciation of the kanji "江".
