Trivia

 * Yuuki and Diane also share the same Japanese voice actress, Aoi Yuuki.
 * Gon and Atsuko share the same Japanese voice actress as well, Megumi Han. As do Mash and Megumin, who in turn, are both voiced by Rie Takahashi's Native Language too. It can even extend with Ami Koshimizu for her roles as Ryuko and Eleanor.
 * According to Emman via a YouTube comment at this YouTube Video on her interpretation of her Captain Jake voice, it would sound like a Fusion of her Voice Roles as Gon Freecss and Young Jean-Pierre Polnareff in English.
 * For Emman on one of his Internet posts, he considers her to be our very own Mexican-American Tara Strong, except many of her roles tend to be Action Girls who are Tomboyish and Bold and Brash, although like Strong, she also engages in a variety of other Roles such as voicing Young Boys.
