Summary
Tidbits
Greg Weisman plans to include Yama in the cast of Bad Guys, with the plan that he had been temporarily banished from Ishimura for his participation in Taro's scheme and was afterwards snapped up by the Director for the Redemption Squad.
The production team briefly considered having the inhabitants of Ishimura speak in Japanese (with English subtitles) before Goliath and his friends arrived, but finally abandoned the idea as too expensive.
Among the settings in Taro's theme park are not only the Ishimura temple, but also Notre Dame Cathedral and a castle that looks strikingly similar to Castle Wyvern.
The Ishimura gargoyles may be modelled in part after the tengu, a race of winged beings in Japanese legend that sometimes taught humans bushido; this would certainly fit admirably into the series policy of linking gargoyles to various legends (as found in M.I.A., The Hound of Ulster, and The Green). Admittedly, the tengu were also portrayed in Japanese legend as mischievous tricksters with magical abilities, traits that sound more evocative of Oberon's Children and certainly do not fit the Ishimura Clan at all - but legends do have a way of distorting the truth.
During his Timedancing adventures, Brooklyn would visit the Ishimura Clan during Japan's feudal past and there find a mate among its members, Katana.
