Okidogi seems to be based on a {{wp|dog}}, specifically the {{wp|Shiba Inu}} or the {{wp|Akita (dog)|Japanese Akita}}, as it shares a bulkier appearance with the latter. The similarity is further pronounced with its {{Shiny}} form and its association with the [[Kitakami|land of Kitakami]], which draws inspiration from the real life {{wp|Tōhoku region}} of Japan, which contains the {{wp|Akita Prefecture}}. | Okidogi seems to be based on a {{wp|dog}}, specifically the {{wp|Shiba Inu}} or the {{wp|Akita (dog)|Japanese Akita}}, as it shares a bulkier appearance with the latter.

{{p|Pecharunt}} and its [[Loyal Three]] of Okidogi, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}, as well as {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). The chains binding the Loyal Three may be based on {{wp|shimenawa}}, woven ropes used in Shinto purification rituals; on Okidogi, the chain visually resembles a dog leash. | |||
