I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Re-watching it still gives me goosebumps, but I’m not here to talk about how awesome both the manga and anime are. Ohoho.

Anyway, see this guy? That’s Vongola Primo aka Giotto aka Sawada Ieyasu. For those not familiar with the show, he is the founder of the strongest mafia famiglia in Italy, if not the whole world, Vongola. He is also the great great great (10x) grandfather of the protagonist, Sawada Tsunayoshi (Vongola Decimo). So he’s technically dead in the series, showing up as an apparition from time to time to guide his great great great grandson.

I was re-watching KHR! today when I remembered the trivia about Giotto. Giotto’s Japanese first name, Ieyasu, was taken after from none other than Tokugawa Ieyasu himself. Also, Giotto’s descendants Sawada Iemitsu (Tsuna’s father) and Tsuna himself, are named after Ieyasu Tokugawa’s grandson and great grandson, Tokugawa Iemitsu and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, respectively.

Actually, Giotto’s descendants before Iemitsu and Tsuna were also named after the Tokugawa Shoguns – Sawada Yoshimune (Tokugawa Yoshimune, 8th Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate), Sawada Yoshinobu (Tokugawa Yoshinobu, 15th and last Shogun. AND OH, HE’S KEIKI IN DTL! hihihi), and Sawada Ietsuna (Tokugawa Ietsuna, 4th Shogun).

This isn’t Midc, DTL of IkeSen related but I’m just too amazed at the fact to ignore this. Hihihi. :))
