Trivia
- Though the word "tycoon" is actually derived from the Japanese word大君taikun (a title for theshogun), it is converted intokatakana as an English term to match the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using thehiraganaたいくん or its respective katakanaタイクン (without the lengtheningchōonpu).
