Name origin

• Possibly from the "angler" in anglerfish rendered in katakana. Note that in Japanese anglerfish are usually called アンコウ目 (Ankou-me). アングラ also means "underground" and may also be relevant, though it is often used in the context of something shady like an underground film.

Trivia

• An alternative version of Angler's Theme is used for Moe's Case in The Legendary Starfy.
• Angler's internal name is "Ankoh". This is presumably a romanization of アンコウ; the Japanese name for anglerfish.
