Trivia

 * The Japanese name "Sho" is derived from a Japanese film actor who is known for his portrayals of ninjas in various live-action films in 1980s named Sho Kosugi. In overseas territories, this name is derived from the Ginsu brand of kitchen knives, introduced in 1970s and were made popular later by its advertisement, where they were said to cut anything. It means why his slogan is "I'll slice 'em! I'll dice 'em!" in some arcade game versions.
