Trivia

 * Ganta cellphone.png's name can also be read as Maruta, which means "round, cut log". This expresses itself in Ganta's mark, that has the form of a round, cut log with a leaf on it. Apparently, he marks a lot of his stuff with this mark, but it has only been seen on his cellphone in the first chapter and episode, as well as on Shiro when they are children, and the piano his mother uses to play the Woodpecker Song. The mark can also be seen on the palm of Ganta's hand after he fires the Ganta Gun.
 * Ganta's birthday is July 9th, as mentioned in Sorae's dairy.
 * Ganta's BoS is slowly killing him as revealed in chapter 51 and has caused parts of his skin to become a darker color.
 * The status of Ganta's father is unknown. Only his mother has been seen and a possible male partner hasn't been mentioned as well. Since Ganta went to an orphanage after being in prison, it is assumed that he is either dead or missing.
