Another [https://twitter.com/DrHyperCake/status/1098748513251291136 discovery] seemed to imply that one or more of Joker's alternate costumes was an alternate character who has a ponytail hairstyle. At the time this was speculated to be the then [https://youtu.be/HhwJgwXBxIc recently revealed] and unnamed character [https://megamitenwiki.com/wiki/Sumire_Yoshizawa Sumire Yoshizawa] from ''Persona 5 Royal''.

Similar to the misspelling of "Menentoes" internally, Ann's name (spelled as Anne in Japanese) was listed as "ane" with a "J" prefix to signify connection to Joker internally, once again similarly to the Mementoes stage strings carrying a "Jack" prefix.
