Trivia

 * He was the one that advised Winry to remove her earrings when they were in Baschool, because due to the fact that her earrings are made of metal, they would freeze and her ears would get frostbite.
 * Once Hiromu Arakawa didn't give a name to the character, studio Bones explained the process for giving names in Fullmetal Alchemist: "You know, sometimes the characters' names come out by thinking in real people". When they needed a western name, the British musician Liam Gallagher came to mind, and his first name was the final choice.
