Trivia / Hayate the Combat Butler

• Author Existence Failure: Miyu Matsuki, Isumi Saginomiya's JP voice actress, died from lymphoma on October 27, 2015.
• Crossdressing Voices: Ryoko Shiraishi provides the Japanese voiceover for Hayate.
  • Averted in Filipino dub. Hayate Ayasaki is voiced by two people (all are males): Jonel Bituin (from the first two seasons and OVA) and Fourth Lee (subsequent seasons). Wataru Tachibana is also included in this trope where he was voiced by three people: Ely Martin, Jefferson Utanes, and AJ Constantino.

  • Nishizawa -> NOM NOM, since she's always eating…
  • Her fans like to call Athena 'A-Tan', despite the fact that it destroyed a seemingly strong bond of friendship within the story. It's well implied that Athena only wants Hayate to use the name.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Originally the author had written a one-shot manga about a high school student and her sister dealing with a debt. These characters became Yukiji and Hinagiku.
  • Bonus chapters say there was a big reveal planned around Maria's family. Namely that she's actually Hayate's half sister, forcing him to deal with the fact he has a crush on someone in his own family.
  • The original ending to the hiking arc in volumes 14-15 was cut because another manga at the same time had an identical joke by a freak coincidence.
• The Wiki Rule: There's a wiki for the series canon.
