The joke is that "Jimmy Simard" sounds like "jimi ishimaru" when said with a Japanese accent. "Jimi Ishimaru" means "plain Ishimaru," one of the [[Running Gag|running gags]] of the series. |

* ''[[Baccano]]'''s Huey Laforet not only has [[Strong Family Resemblance|identical kids and grandchildren]], but also an [[Identical Stranger]] by way of [[Durarara|Kasuka Heiwajima]], who is noted to look quite like his identical great-great-grandson Charon Walken in the eighth volume of ''[[Durarara]]''.
