Appearances and Curiosities

 * Meaningful name: not him, but his bar, "New Jofuku." Jofuku is the Japanese name for Xu-Fu, a sorcerer from the court of Qin Shi Huang, who was ordered by his boss to search for an "elixir of the immortals" on top of the mythical Mount Penglai, he found the elixir whose name is "Furofuki," indicating that Penglai is actually Mount Kinryu located in Saga prefecture, the elixir was given by a leading wizard of the 8 immortals Anqi sheng.. This place is known in Chinese mythology as the place where fruits grow that give immortality and are capable of reviving the dead, strongly indicating that this is the reason why the girls were revived. The images hanging in the bar (including one of a statue of Xu-Fu himself) suggest that the association is quite intentional in the Universe, and given its apparent age, they are probably also indications of its identity.
 * Both images at the back of the bar belong to the Jofuku Chojukan, the museum and park dedicated to the legends of xu-fu in the Saga.
 * Ambiguously human: His vague history with Yugiri and his brief confusion of the Zombie Land Saga Project over Hizen province, a territory that dissolved in the early Meiji period, suggest that it is much older than it seems.


 * Cryptic Background: This is our first indication that there is a broader story about the environment beyond the girls, and Kotaro is part of it.
 * Unnamed given: He is called "Maestro" in the credits, indicating that he is leading the bar that he is tending, but that is all we know for sure. Although the name of its bar, the images and the oddities in its background seem to indicate that it is Xu-Fu.
 * The official Blu-ray confirms that his name in the English credits is "Jofuku"
