Trivia[]

  • Asanogawa is the name for one of the two rivers crossing the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan, contributing to the beautiful waters of the famous gardens (one of them being Kenrokuen) of the city. Asanogawa (along with R-9DP Hakusan and R-9DP3 Kenrokuen) is a reference to Irem's former main headquarter location.
  • This craft is named Namdaemoon in the Korean version of the game.
