Trivia

 * The starfish sticker on the side of the Custom Splattershot Jr. is a reference to the Japanese Koreisha mark, a symbol representing elderly or experienced drivers. This is in contrast to the Splattershot Jr.'s association with the Wakaba mark, a symbol for beginners.
 * The Custom Splattershot Jr. is the only weapon with the "custom" prefix not made by the Custom brand. As such, it is the only one with a unique sticker; the rest all have the Custom logo. This is probably due to a mistranslation, since the Japanese prefix for it is different than the suffix for the Custom-branded weapon variants.

Etymology
Custom Splattershot Jr. is a combination of Splatter (as well as Splat), Shot and the shortened form of Junior at the end. It also has "Custom" as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot Jr. Despite its name, it isn't part of the Custom brand.

Its japanese name, もみじシューター Momiji Shūtā, means "Maple Shooter". Its name is also a reference to the Koreisha mark (which was originally called "momiji mark"), a symbol for elderly car drivers in Japan. This is in contrast to the Splattershot Jr.'s reference to the Wakaba mark, which is a mark for beginners.
