"Kanan the Swordmistress":

"Kanan" is a word in Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog, and Old Javanese that means "right" (as in the direction).

Her name could also be translated as "Canan" which is a Turkish female name that means "beloved" in Turkish. Alternatively, her name could also refer to the Hawaiian female name "Kanani", which means "the beauty" in Hawaiian.

This was the most expensive Normal Monster in the TCG, due to being printed only as one of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2003 prize cards. It was eventually reprinted in Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World Mega Pack.
- This is also the most expensive Normal Monster in the OCG, with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters National Tournament prints of the card selling for over a ¥100,000.

The part of her flavor text which states "She floats lightly and stings sharply" could be a reference to Muhammad Ali's famous quote describing his fighting style, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".
