Trivia

 * Before her official name was revealed in the Official Fanbook, the character was referenced to as "Friend E" (友達E).
 * This happened even with the supporting characters - Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura - however, unlike them, she's more of a classmate to Nagatoro than a friend, as they didn't seem to hang out with each other out of school.
 * The first two kanji of her last name means "cat" (ネコ) while the last, ba (バ) doesn't have a proper translation. It may be a pun of the author on her cat-like smile.
 * She seems to have a crush for a boy called Yuki, which she described as the ideal reliable kind of guy she's into.
