Trivia
- An anime design for Momo was drawn, but it was never used in the series. Instead, they used a stylized paper cutout to reenact Kyoko's backstory.
- The design later was used for Momo's appearances in Madoka Magica Portable.
Observations
- She may be named after the title character of Magical Princess Minky Momo, an early Magical Girl series. Coincidentally, although he claimed it wasn't an inspiration for Madoka, Producer Atsuhiro Iwakami has stated that he was fond of the show.[4][5]
- It can be inferred that Kyoko and Momo shared a close relationship, as it is Yuma's resemblance to her younger sister that makes Kyoko decide to look after the little girl.
Etymology
- Her first name is written in hiragana which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji (桃), it can mean "peach". Coincidentally Kyoko's name means "apricot", which is also a fruit similar to the peach.
- The first character for Sakura (佐) means "to help" while the second (倉) means "warehouse."
