Etymology

 * The name Itoko means "string, cord, samisen music" (絃) (ito) and "child" (子) (ko).
 * The Japanese word for "cousin" (いとこ) is also pronounced itoko, but is clearly written with different characters. Therefore, her name is a pun, and serves as the source of confusion during Yuni and Kimichika's talk during the first night of training camp in Episode 4.
 * Itoko's surname Kuroba means "black" (黒) (kuro) and "feather" (羽) (ha/ba).
