Etymology
As Len has a mirror counterpart, Rin, Len's surname was derived from combining the words Kagami (鏡, mirror) and Ne (音, sound). While Rin's name is said to come from the English word "right", Len's voice is said to come from the English word "left". They are also said to be derived from the characters Ken and Rin from the manga Hokuto no Ken.
