- The name Reiji means "zero, nought" (零) (rei) and "child, infant, kid, young of animals, tot" (児) (ji).
- Reiji's surname Oogami means "big, great" (大) (o) and "god, deity" (神) (kami/gami).
Trivia[]
- For some time, Reiji was rumored to be Chizuru's husband; however, they are actually just friends, and representatives of the same clan. This is why Reiji's daughter is dressed in a similar outfit to Chizuru. Its also possible that he's either married to someone else, or he may not be married at all, as he was seen flirting with Jun Kagami in the Hero Team's cutscene.
