The name "Rikimaru" seems to be a yōmyō, a child naming convention that was once common in Japan. As Rikimaru is not a child, the name would appear to be an alias. His name, when broken down, would mean "Dear Riki (Ricky)". This, along with [[Richmond]]'s stating of his hometown has led some to believe that Rikimaru is, or is avenging or has some other connection to, [[Richard Silverberg]].
