Trivia[]
- During development of Downtown Nekketsu Baseball Monogatari: Yakyū de Shōbu da! Kunio-kun, Hanazono High School was going to be given it's own story with it revolving around Washio and his friendship with Riki.[2]
- The prologue would've seen him being handed an invitation to the Tōdō Group's upcoming tournament by Mami Shimada with him turning it down thinking he had nobody else to play with due to him no longer being on the school's baseball team, though Mami would point behind him where Washio would then see Riki and many other capable players standing around with bats and gloves in their hands ready to play baseball with him. After realizing they intended on playing and weren't getting ready to attack another school, he began to cry.
