Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yato's character design and chaotic energy were heavily inspired by the author's own struggles with feeling professionally invisible.
The 5-yen offering references the Japanese word for five (go) sounding like 'honor/respect' (go), making Yato's desperation ironically sacred.
