Trivia

• "Onpon" comes from Japanese: 音本, which is an irregular combination intended to mean "origin of sound". onpon4 has not explained why he chose this for his username all over the internet.
• The number "4" is commonly added to onpon4's usernames because many services require 6 or more characters in usernames. The number "4" was chosen because one pronunciation of the number in Japanese, "shi" or "si" in Chinese, also have the near close pronunciation to death, making "4" an unlucky number in Japan and China.
• When "onpon4" is said in Japanese, the pronunciation is "on-pon-yon", though if one wanted to make the final syllable ambiguous as to whether it means "4" or "death", it would be "on-pon-shi". onpon4 never uses the latter pronunciation, since it lacks the novelty of "on" being in every syllable.
• When written in Japanese, "onpon4" is 音本四 (音本４ and 音本4 are not correct).
• Except on wikis, "onpon4" is always spelled in all lowercase. onpon4 is picky about this. It is acceptable (and even preferred) to write "onpon" capitalized in most cases (indeed, his website is titled "Onpon's Games and Apps"). However, if capitalization causes "onpon" to stand out when it isn't the primary focus, it is preferred to spell it in all lowercase, "onpon". In situations where it is impossible to not capitalize "onpon4", "onpon" should be used instead unless it's a username, in which case "Onpon4" is preferred.
• onpon4 doesn't like Game Maker very much, and would prefer for a more open alternative to be used, like Game Editor.
• He only used Game Maker to create Bowser's Last Stand because of his Bowser Engine that he had made in Game Maker.
• He also has his own website and blog.
