Trivia

 * He is sometimes known in English as "Wagan", due to romanization difficultes with the kana "gya" (the same applies to Galaga, which is known in Japanese as Gyaraga).
 * He is the protagonist of the webseries The COPPApocalypse, which was made by the founder of this very wiki. The series also got an English dub.
