	* [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] explains that "ichibi" is the Japanese name of a variety of {{w\|Abutilon theophrasti\|velvetleaf}} (''Abutilon theophrasti''). It has no common kanji representation, though it's theorized to have derived from ''tomoshibi'' (灯), meaning "lamplight". While this seems to set this name rather apart from the other two Caliber Micron names in feel, if you consider the names as all deriving from "ninja tools and skills", a common thread emerges. It turns out this particular plant was used long ago as an ingredient of the gunpowder used for matchlock rifles and similar weapons.		* [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] explains that ''ichibi'' (イチビ) is the Japanese name of a variety of {{w\|Abutilon theophrasti\|velvetleaf}} (''Abutilon theophrasti'').
