Usopp/Misc.

Anime and Manga Differences
In the anime, when the Pacifista was locking onto to Usopp for its next attack, its bounty detector labeled him as Sogeking, even though he was not wearing his Sogeking mask (though his nose or the Kabuto could have given him away).

Although it is a fact that the newspapers (2 years later) managed to recognize Usopp, as he was labeled "Sogeking", proving the Pacifistas have the capability to recognize him.

Translation and Dub Issues
Usopp's name is probably based on "Isoppu", which is the Japanese pronunciation of Aesop, the ancient Greek fabulist. Considering that uso and usoppu mean "lie" and "liar" respectively in Japanese, the name Usopp can be taken as a portmanteau name between uso and Isopp, since Usopp is both a liar and a storyteller. The name is also a Japanese pun in that saying "Ore wa Usopp!" can mean either "I am Usopp!" or "I am a liar!" because Usopp's name is written using Katakana characters and not Kanji.

In regards to his alter-ego, Sogeking is a play on words as the Japanese word for sniper is "Sogeki".

In order to avoid references to death, Usopp's "Sure Kill" part in his attacks' names are removed in the 4Kids dub. Both Usopp and Yasopp were voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith.

Trivia

 * In addition to the Straw Hats' jolly roger, Usopp also has one of his own, like all the other members of the crew. The flag was first seen when Luffy asked him to design and paint a Jolly Roger for the crew. Though it was supposed to reflect everyone, Usopp designed his own jolly roger as their symbol, reflecting his delusions of captainship. It has Usopp's nose, bandanna, a star, and a slingshot for a cross-bone. Usopp's design was immediately rejected.
 * Usopp has a second personal jolly roger after the timeskip. In this version his skull is seen on its left side with Usopp's new hat, headphones, and his curly hair tied back. The Kabuto is seen on its side in the background.
 * Usopp can be seen in the corner of Luffy's wanted poster and Zoro's wanted poster. In Luffy's he is simply viewed from behind. In Zoro's his silhouette is faintly seen through the smoke in the background of the poster doing his Crocodile impersonation. However, in the anime, the latter was cut out of Zoro's poster most likely due to the fact that it is not easily visible and was thus overlooked. It was later corrected in Episode 152 but omitted again in the second bounty poster.
 * Usopp's nose is a little longer than Kaku's. According to Mr. 2, Usopp's nose is the funniest in the world.
 * It is possible that Usopp's long nose was inspired by the fairy tale "Pinocchio", as Pinocchio was a wooden puppet whose nose grew longer whenever he told a lie.
 * Usopp's personality could also come from The Adventures of Baron of Münchausen, who said he had traveled around the globe on a cannonball, a lie Usopp himself said in episode 19, though no one gave any attention.
 * Ironically, most of the tall tales he told Kaya have came true at some point during the Straw Hats' voyage. These include meeting a giant goldfish (as the crew was leaving Little Garden) fighting against a giant mole (against Miss Merry Christmas during the climax in the Alabasta arc) and meeting dwarves (when Robin and Usopp were captured by dwarves in Green Bit).
 * He, Luffy and Sanji claim to have never been sick, and thus do not know what it feels like.
 * He is the one who introduced the rubber band to the Skypieans.
 * "Hercules" and "Kabuto" are both types of beetles and coincidentally represented by both Heracles and Usopp respectively (in Usopp's case it is his weapon).
 * Kappei Yamaguchi, Usopp's Japanese voice actor, came up with the notes to the Sogeking song. Oda provided the words and then asked him to develop the notes himself. Kappei also stated that the Sogeking song is the most requested song for him.
 * Sonny Strait, the FUNimation voice actor for Usopp, has stated several times during the FUNimation DVD commentaries, that Kappei Yamaguchi is his favorite Japanese voice actor, saying that whenever he listens to Kappei's performance in recording it is like he is saying "Top that American voice actor!".
 * In the 4th Japanese Fan Poll, Usopp was voted the eleventh most popular character in One Piece.
 * Usopp's birthday is on April 1, which is April Fool's Day. This is quite fitting considering Usopp's ability to fool people.
 * Skypiea has a theme park dedicated to Usopp called "Rubber Band Land". It has a drawn profile of him on the overhead sign and a statue featuring him as a muscular warrior, complete with a spear.
 * Usopp is the only Straw Hat Pirate to be unknown to the World Government, since it was actually his Sogeking persona that got a wanted poster. But in the newspaper about the reunion of the Straw Hats, a picture of him is titled with Sogeking and a 30 Million Berry bounty. That could mean the World Government now knows what he looks like, but are still unaware of his real name.
 * Usopp might be somewhat based on the Japanese mythical species tengu, who were said to have long noses and habits of tricking people. Kin'emon even referred to him as a tengu.
