- The word 風 (kaze) can also mean 'cold' or 'flu' when read as kaze but written with different characters. In spoken Japanese, the 'wind warrior' and a 'flu warrior' sound identical.
- While 戦士 (senshi) means 'warrior', in modern Japanese pop culture it is the standard term for 'Sailor Guardian' in the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon, which is titled 美少女戦士セーラームーン.
- If a character is a 'warrior of the wind' in a mythological sense, they might be associated with the deity 風神 (Fujin), the Japanese god of wind.
