Twelve years before the release of [[Katawa Shoujo]], Honjou drew a doujin called "Schuppen Harnische."

More recently, Honjou worked on art for the Sega game [[wikipedia:Valkyria Chronicles|Valkyria Chronicles]].

This page was later colorized and translated by an anonymous person and posted to 4-chan. This would lead to the creation of [[Four Leaf Studios]] and eventually the final game.

**"The most difficult one to get." - This ended up being the exact opposite of the details concerning Rin in the final product. Of all the possible choice combinations in [[Act 1]] (totaling 1232), 644 of them lead to [[Kenji|Kenji's]] ending (also called the Act 1 Bad Ending), and 272 of the remaining combinations lead to Rin's Route. In addition, Rin's route has the most combinations of choices after reaching Act 2 in comparison to any of the other girls.<ref group="note">Information gathered from [http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/650003-katawa-shoujo/faqs/63699 a Gamefaqs walkthrough] outlining the statistical side of the player's possible choices.</ref>

**"There's gotta be an eating-lunch-on-the-rooftop event with her." - Rin and Emi commonly eat their lunches on the roof of the school, with Hisao occasionally joining them.

*"[[Yamaku Academy|This school]] lets you customize your uniform to some extent." - This is never addressed, ~~though there~~ is ~~evidence to suggest there is no rule at Yamaku against it~~. For example, the school allows Rin to wear a male's uniform (though this may be a special exception due to her lack of hands), and allows [[Miki|Miki Miura]] to wear a combination male's and female's uniform. Also, it seems that no regulations are given to girls regarding what they wear on their legs and feet, as we see Shizune wearing dark blue stockings, Hanako wearing black pantyhose and brown boots (though in her cinema we see her wearing shoes), Emi wearing orange and yellow striped stockings over her prosthetics, Lilly wearing white stockings or pantyhose (as her skirt is the longest among the characters in the game, we don't know) and Rin with sandals. Other girls are shown wearing different types and colors of socks, stockings, pantyhoses and shoes or sneakers.

*"[[Yamaku Academy|This school]] lets you customize your uniform to some extent." - This is never addressed in game, although the devs have stated that the uniform is not a set piece, but rather made of differnt articles the students can choose from. For example, the school allows Rin to wear a male's uniform (though this may be a special exception due to her lack of hands), and allows [[Miki|Miki Miura]] to wear a combination male's and female's uniform. Also, it seems that no regulations are given to girls regarding what they wear on their legs and feet, as we see Shizune wearing dark blue stockings, Hanako wearing black pantyhose and brown boots (though in her cinema we see her wearing shoes), Emi wearing orange and yellow striped stockings over her prosthetics, Lilly wearing white stockings or pantyhose (as her skirt is the longest among the characters in the game, we don't know) and Rin with sandals. Other girls are shown wearing different types and colors of socks, stockings, pantyhoses and shoes or sneakers.

*"Play time is three months. It's best to avoid [[wikipedia:Gigolo|gigolo]] play, otherwise you won't be able to get anyone at all." - The amount of time that the game spans over varies by route. In addition, if the player makes the wrong choices (hence "gigolo play"), they will not end up on any of the routes, and get Kenji's ending.

*The group that did the original doujin was called Zettai Shoujo, meaning Absolute Girl suggesting Katawa Shoujo crippled girl was a play on the group's name.
