 * Shion is Japanese-American and was born and raised in San Francisco, California, United States
 * Shion's appearance was originally going to be based on what she looks like in A Crazy EX Battle, but to prevent it being too similar to Yandere Simulator, she wears a pink jacket over the school uniform and her hair is styled in a low ponytail
 * Shion's last name (as well as her actress' last name), has been misspelled from the last 2 Volumes since her debut so her last name was changed to 'Takase' instead of 'Tekase'
