Editing Hanako Ikezawa (section)

== Trivia ==
*As an orphan, Hanako is a Ward of the State. The government pays for her enrollment at Yamaku.
*Hanako appears more outgoing in [[Lilly Satou]]'s route than her own "good route" (though this is understandable, as the elapsed time of Lilly's route is longer than Hanako's).
*Hanako is reading <u>''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_Pi Life of Pi]''</u> when [[Hisao Nakai]] first meets her. Later she and Hisao discuss a book series that appears to be Frank Herbert's <u>''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(franchise) Dune]''</u>.
*Hanako is the only main character whose theme (''Painful History'') does not play when Hisao first meets her. Instead the song ''Everyday Fantasy'' plays.
*[[Rin Tezuka]] points out that she saw Hanako go to the bathroom a few times in a row. This might be a reference to a Japanese urban legend of a young WWII-era girl named [[wikipedia:Hanako-san|Hanako-san]], who haunts school bathrooms.
*A small picture of a woman holding a baby can be seen in the CG that shows Hanako's doll collection. It's possible this may be a picture of Hanako and her mother.  
*In addition to the doll Hanako was given last year for her birthday and the one she receives this year, she also has a large stuffed penguin that can be seen in her bad ending CG.
*In the leaked scripts, many of the details of Hanako's back story differ from the final release:
**Instead of living at an orphanage, Hanako lived with foster parents.
**Hanako's mother likely worked as an architect or in a similar field; her home office is described to be full of sketches and plans for building designs.
**Before their deaths, her parents had bought her a stuffed rabbit named Petra. It was the only item that survived the fire. She still holds onto it as a memory.
**The fire was started by unattended candles during a blackout. Hanako's father saved her by getting her out of the house before it collapsed.
**She is afraid of the dark. One night, Hanako is not in her room and is in Lilly's room (who isn't present) due to a broken night light.
**Hanako indirectly caused the death of someone she had romantic feelings for. During the confession, she ran away, but the boy ran after her. He was hit by a speeding vehicle and killed instantly.
