I knew there was some connection to the creators. Like in a certain FPS shooter that shall remain nameless all generic soldiers r named after the developers. I wonder where they got the names of the numerous schools.

I always find this type of trivia pretty neat. I remember hearing about the "Yasuhiko Nomura" reference on GameFAQs, but had no clue about the others.

The "Kazunari Takayanagi" one stuck out as being oddly elaborate for a death tag though, so I had a feeling there was some sort of further significance with that one. I remember initially assuming it was Shimoda (obviously, I couldn't remember his name at the time) and apparently a bunch of others did as well, though that got dispelled by a post on GameFAQs. Nice to finally know the deal with that nametag.

Kanau Yukimura (Distant Futures Elementary School)
Named after Kanau Yukimura from the manga, Otaku's Daughter [Otaku no Musume-San].
do you know that feeling? when you just become immersed with the manga especially with the characters....

then you found some Easter egg such as this just after you've read that manga.... (not to mention i'm in the part where she is very sick)

It kinda broke my heart a little bit...not to mention her lines..T-T

This is the only special id that i've recognized D:

Lol, Sakuya has a lot of friends.

Also, Mori P? Why exactly? Is someone on the Corpse Party staff a fan of Blazblue? lol

Now thats a clever little easter egg to anime, manga and corpse party media.
Whether by Windblast or by choke hold, whether by the steel of my Folding Blade or the swiftness of Blink, whether by Possession or by the power of thine Pistol, none shall evade either my Wrath, or my Mercy. For the Outsider gazes from his Void, the fate of all, are in the hands of those, marked by him.

Cursed, soon dead- steeped in dread....
Clever! It must be an honor, being able to play the game you've been working on and seeing your name paid a little homage like that. :D I wonder how particular people were chosen, though....

The only one I recognized was Toshimi Shinomiya.
"That's where I need the most help, myself. I still haven't said a thing. But really, she's always getting into it with me...always getting violent and controlling as soon as she sees me...and whenever I state my opinion, she always counters it with the opposite opinion...and does a better job of justifying it, to boot...She's strong-willed, and she's ornery...but if I ever lost her......I'd feel so alone, I might as well be dead...I didn't realize it until she ran off just now, either. I didn't realize that I'm....in love with her..."
