Trivia[]
- Gomon was designed by Hiroyuki Takei, the author of Shaman King.[1] The name "Gomon" is derived from the Japanese word for "torture" (拷問, gōmon?), while "Hiro" may be derived from his creator's name. Gomon's attire refers directly to Iron Maiden Jeanne, a character from Shaman King, resembling both her own outfit and the iron maiden that usually encases her.
