    Trivia: There are 10 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • For the earlier episodes, the English voice actors had to assume pseudonyms as, at the time, the production was outside the actors' union system.
    • Co-creator Masaki Kajishima named some of the characters after locations in his home locale of the Okayama prefecture, Japan.
    • “Tenchi Muyo” is a Japanese pun. In normal usage, this kanji compound means “This side up”, and is often seen on boxes and crates. (This is why the North American dubs use a “stencil” font for all the English titles.) In this series, however, it is read quite differently. “Tenchi” refers to the main character, and “Muyo” means “useless”. The title could be translated into English as “Useless Tenchi”, or “No Need For Tenchi”.
