==Trivia==
*Interestingly, though the word "tycoon" is actually derived from the Japanese word 大君 ''taikun'', it is converted into katakana as an English term, much like the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using the hiragana たいくん or its respective katakana, タイクン (without the lengthening {{wp|chōonpu}}).
* Though the word "{{wp|Business magnate#Etymology|tycoon}}" is actually derived from the Japanese word {{j|{{jwp|征夷大将軍|大君}}}} ''taikun'' (a title for the {{wp|shogun}}), it is converted into {{wp|katakana}} as an English term to match the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using the {{wp|hiragana}} {{j|たいくん}} or its respective katakana {{j|タイクン}} (without the lengthening {{wp|chōonpu}}).
