Name

 * "Kizuki" consists of kanji that can mean "rare" or "hope" (希) and "month" or "moon" (月). This can make her Japanese surname mean "rare moon", "rare month", "moon of hope", or "month of hope".


 * Her given name, "Kokone", consists of kanji that can mean "heart", "soul", "mind", "emotion", "sincerity", "sympathy", or "answer (as in to a riddle)" (心), and "sound" (音). Combined, they mean "(the sound of one's) heartbeat".


 * Her full Japanese name could roughly mean "a heartbeat once in a blue moon". This may be a reference to the "heart scope" ("ココ口スコ‐プ kokoro sukōpu"), the device which Kizuki uses during trials to detect the strong emotions of witnesses upon mentioning certain topics.
