*Out of the five main girls, Hanako has only one H-scene, while the rest have at least two.
*Hanako has only one H-scene, the fewest of any other girls.
*Hanako's name can mean "Flower Child". This is complementary to Lilly's name, and exemplifies her inner beauty.
*Hanako means "Flower Child" and complements Lilly's name (though it is spelled "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium lily]").
*Hanako appears more outgoing in Lilly's route than her own "Good Route" (though this is understandable, as chronologically, Lilly's route goes farther than Hanako's route).
*Hanako appears more outgoing in Lilly's route than her own "good route" (though this is understandable, as the elapsed time of Lilly's route is longer than Hanako's).
*In the leaked beta version, it was revealed that Hanako's original route was originally a "trap" of sorts. Where before, if the player chose Hanako's path, the only endings the player could get were bad. Though this was changed to Hanako’s current official route with a good ending. Back then, In order to get Hanako's good ending, one would have to first achieve all three of her bad endings, then the option for Hanako's good ending would be available as a branch of Lilly's route.
*Hanako is reading <u>''Life of Pi''</u> when Hisao first meets her.  
*In the leaked beta version, much of Hanako's backstory is revealed and several details are different from the final release. For example, it was revealed that she lived with foster parents instead of at an orphanage. Also, before the fire that claimed her parents' lives broke out, they bought her a stuffed rabbit named Petra. It was the only item that survived the fire, and she still holds on to it as a memory. Finally, it is revealed that the fire started when a blackout occurred in Hanako's home town, and was caused by unattended candles that were lit while the power was out. Unlike in the final release, it was Hanako's father who saved her by being able to get her out of the house before it collapsed. It is also revealed that she indirectly caused the death of someone for whom she had romantic feelings by running away during the middle of her confession. The boy in question attempted to run after her, but was hit by a speeding vehicle and killed instantly.
*Hanako is the only main character whose theme (''Painful History'') does not play when Hisao first meets her. Instead the song ''Everyday Fantasy'' plays.
*Although Hanako's route is average in length in the final release, her original story from the leaked beta version is the longest, with hers being the only route in both versions of the game to have 4 acts (with the exception of "Life Expectancy").

*Rin 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.
