While Joe appeared in the manga as an unnamed character, Jii and Ai were created for the anime. The names of the three men are a phonetic reference to [[wikipedia:Hasbro|Hasbro]]'s popular ''[[wikipedia:G.I. Joe|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. [[wikipedia:Toei Animation|Toei Animation]], the company responsible for the ''Hokuto no Ken'' anime, also animated the ''[[wikipedia:G.I._Joe:_A_Real_American_Hero_(1985_TV_series)|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'' animated series for Sunbow. Jii was voiced by [[Michitaka Kobayashi]] and Ai was voiced by [[Kōzō Shioya]].
