In Popular Media

In the novel Welcome to the NHK by Tatsuhiko Takimoto, Rika is referred to as Satou's "favourite" at one point in the series. This was after his friend, Yamazaki, loaned him hundreds of discs of Lolicon photobooks as a "reference point" for their Bishoujo game they were to create together.
