	Wakasa's character appears to be loosely based on the historical Yaita Wakasa, who was the daughter of ''[[daimyō]]'' {{~~wiki~~\|Tanegashima Tokitaka}}'s [[blacksmith]] {{Wiki\|ja:八板金兵衛\|Yaita Kinbei Kiyosada}}, who created the first European-style matchlock in Japan after their introduction by the Portuguese. Anecdotally, Kiyosada could not figure out how the gun's screws worked and offered his daughter in marriage to one of the Portuguese sailors for that knowledge. The Portuguese and Wakasa left for Portugal and a year later returned with a Portuguese blacksmith to explain the process. Wakasa and her father later faked her death, and the Portuguese left without her. The only primary source for this account is Yaita family history ''Yaita-shi Kiyosada ichiryu no Keizo'' and oral tradition. A stone purported to be her grave marker is located in {{~~wiki~~\|Nishinoomote, Kagoshima}}.<ref name="Wiki"/>		Wakasa's character appears to be loosely based on the historical Yaita Wakasa, who was the daughter of ''[[daimyō]]'' {{Wiki\|Tanegashima Tokitaka}}'s [[blacksmith]] {{Wiki\|ja:八板金兵衛\|Yaita Kinbei Kiyosada}}, who created the first European-style matchlock in Japan after their introduction by the Portuguese.

	When not playing ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' in Canon Mode, it is possible for Wakasa to become [[Social stealth\|suspicious]] of Naoe and flee to the construction site around [[Osaka Castle]], triggering an alternate memory for her [[assassination]]. Alternatively, Naoe can falsely accuse Otama of being the Golden Teppo and kill her before recovering a note which reveals Wakasa's actual identity as the Shinbakufu member.
