Trivia
- Hisao, upon first seeing it, comments on the gate being too 'pompous' for what it is.
- Despite having a 'grand' exterior, classrooms and other areas appear quite plain and simple, with basic wooden desks, old windows and classic blackboards (but as Hisao would say: 'Simple and efficient.').
- It is suggested that Yamaku has a large amount of funding, which would explain its size and its many features.
- "Yamaku" is not a real Japanese word.
- Some of the photos of the academy are actual photos of Brown University.
- Yamaku's exact location is never explicitly revealed. However, a few hints exist as to its possible location:
- Iwanako's Letter is addressed to a "City Miyagi." The place in Japan with the closest name would be Sendai City, capital of the Miyagi Prefecture.
- cpl_crud of Four Leaf Studios, after the release of the game, revealed that while he was photographing the city of Sendai for research, he imagined Yamaku as being in the location of the remains of the Sendai Castle (located here).
