TRIVIA
- Supyo’s name is a word play of the phrase “sup, yo?”.
- “Namigappa” translates as “wave kappa”
- Based on his habitat, Supyo could be inspired by a kappa subspecies named garappa, which lives in the Kyushu region by the sea as opposed to its riverbound cousins. Compared to them, they are thinner and have abnormally long limbs, and emit a pungent smell. During the autumn season, they retire to the mountains and enjoy playing pranks on humans. Besides these distinctions, they are otherwise similar to kappa in appearance and habits.
