*The physical architecture of the Yoroi armor draws inspiration from its namesake, a [[Wikipedia:Japanese armour|Japanese armor]] named ''[[Wikipedia:Ō-yoroi|ō-yoroi]]'', which is [[Japan]]ese for "great armor" and was worn by the Japanese samurai. The armor core features [[Wikipedia:Lamellar armour|horizontal rows of armor plates]] on the arm shoulders, while the armor below the waist resembled the ''haidate'', which were thigh guards that tied around the waist and covered the thighs. The HIKESHI and KABUTO helmets feature characteristics like a large crest on the helmet and a neck guard made of curved plates. The Swordsman's Belt adds a ''[[Wikipedia:Uwa-obi|uwa-obi]]'' around the waist, with the ''[[Wikipedia:Tantō| tantō]]'' handle typically facing towards the wearer's right-hand side for use when grappling in close quarters.

*''Hikeshi'' is Japanese for "[[Wikipedia:Fires in Edo|firefighting]]". The HIKESHI helmet, especially its ''shikoro'' neckguard, bears a strong resemblance to the modern Japanese firefighter helmet, characterized by its flaps, the design of which has descended from the Edo period, when the ''hikeshi'' (firefighting) system and ''buke hikeshi'' (samurai firefighters) were introduced.
