* The female protagonist from ''Portable'', when not given her eventual canon name [[Theatre/Persona3TheWeirdMasquerade Kotone Shiomi]], is generally named Minako (a feminine variant of Minato, the male protagonist's manga name) or Hamuko (made by splitting the radicals of the last character in "protagonist"/主人公 and interpreting them as katakana; i.e. ハム/"hamu" instead of 公/"kou").
