Spoiler: Londark, in real life, is named Satou Ace (佐藤瑛磨). Hes a 19-year-old part-time worker.

Dinkurons real life name might be Kijima Haruto (城嶋春人). I say might because there are multiple readings for both parts of his name, and no pronunciation was given. During the guilds offline meetings, hed sit next to William to protect William from alcohol or Ukiyos sudden attacks? (So I guess Ukiyos giant club is for more than just role-playing )

Michitaka takes his username from his real name, which is Oikawa Michitaka (及川道隆)

Rodericks real name is Ayano Yoshifumi (天野義史).

Charasins real name is Mikami Yousuke (三上洋介).

Misas name in real life is exactly the same as her name in-game. When asked about Misas age, and whether she would still be of marriageable age for another 10 years, Elissas answer was basically along the lines of shell be that way for another 200 years.

Elissa was asked to give the real names of Kayu, Taro, and Nazuna, as well as their ages along with the ages of Michitaka, Roderick, and Charasin, but Elissa gave no info about that.

Before Plant Hwyaden, the Kansai regions two most famous guilds were Howling (lead by Nakarunado, now in PHs Ten Seats) and Benihime (this is the first time Ive read about them).

There used to be more men in West Wind Brigade, but as more and more girls joined (for Souji), they left. Apparently the Watermaple Consulate is having a similar issue; the men dont want to be in a workplace full of women, it seems.

Around 80% of Yamatos Adventurer population lives in the Player Cities of Akiba, Minami, and Susukino. The other 20% either live in the other two player cities, or in towns/villages away from the cities.

Adventurers can grow facial hair, it seems. Im not sure if it naturally occurs, or if it has to be done purposely (like with appearance customization settings/items).

When asked if Theldesia had a tanabata-like event, Elissas answer was that while she couldnt answer for all of Theldesia, the Yamato server will soon have a similar festival. (She also said that putting wishes on a piece of paper was in the culture of all Adventurers, but I dont think so ?)

The Black Swords Knights werent always known by that name; Isaac renamed it after getting the Black Sword of Pain. Its name prior to that hasnt been decided yet, but it seems to have been along the lines of Strongest Contractors (referring to Isaacs real-life occupation) or Team Strongest.

Elissa was asked whether we would ever meet the guild master of Cat Food (Nyantas previous guild). She couldnt find anything about whether we would ever see him again, but she said that Nyanta would be happy to see his old friend.

Theldesia does not follow the Gregorian calendar, and the celestial bodies seen from Theldesia are not the same as on Earth (aside from the moon). However, Elissa couldnt find any detailed information aside from that. (In one of Mamare's Q&As on the Japanese wiki, he said it was similar enough to our calendar, though, that most people can approximate it into a 365-day-calendar.)

When asked if Magus (from the WWB manga) will make an appearance in the novels, Elissas response was that, since she made a cameo in the anime, there is a possibility that we will see her again. Although that again could very well just be in the WWB manga and not the novels.

Regarding the origins of some guild names: Light Indigo (Tetoras original guild) is named after the color of the Shinsengumis haoris (its light blue). Crescent Moon Alliance wanted a cafe-ish name. The Wolves of Mibu were inspired by the Shinsengumi, and Mamare said something about Kazuhiko and Yamanami Keisuke.

As for fan works, Elissa said that Mamare and the development team do look at a couple of them from time-to-time. Obviously, they cant read every single one nor can they incorporate all of them, but there are some things that they adopt. For example, the titles of Garnet Dragon (Ga-tan) and Corolla Knight (Dinkuron) are apparently from fan works.

In response to a question about Shiroes love experiences, Elissa revealed that Shiroe once had a crush on a girl in his class back in middle school. He bought her a souvenir and all before they went on a school trip, but he was rejected after the trip and he kept muttering Im too boring. (This took place a few years before he began playing Elder Tale, then.)

The difference between a Maid and an Elder Maid is that Elder Maids are able to do more things, and are better at serving meals and housekeeping. (And not that it differentiates between Adventurer/Lander subclasses like I had originally thought.)

Rudys family structure is known only to Mamare at the moment.

Elissa wants an oriental small-clawed otter.

Volume 11 is supposedly going to hold quite a bit of information about Krusty. It seems that there will perhaps be more illustrations than normal. Hara must be busy. Also, Krusty is around Shiroes age (previous info detailed that he went to Yale University, probably for undergrad since hes in Japan now).

In regards to shops in Akiba, Elissa said to check the Celdessia Gazettes for more information.

We got some more background information about Elias (and girls). I am quite certain Im going to butcher the translation. All I can tell is that a fairy childhood friend (probably a girl) went into a deep sleep, the master of the fairy sword arts took on the form of a little girl(?), he went journeying with a female troubadour, and one time got washed ashore in a strange land and was taken care of by a local priestess. Quote Elissa, The development team is indignant.

About the age of certain guilds (Elissa said that it may not be entirely accurate): DDD, Black Sword Knights, Roderick Firm, and Howling were all formed before the Tea Party disbanded. Silver Sword, Crescent Moon Alliance, Grandeur, 8th Shopping District, and West Wind Brigade were all formed after the Tea Party disbanded.

Rezaricks real name is Yamazaki Kenta (山崎健太) and his birthday is November 10. Hes probably around Isaacs age (theyre both in their thirties). His real life occupation is a mortician (a person who takes care of dead people). Elissa gives her sympathies. No wonder hes a Cleric.

Ancients can be created two ways: one, from birth, second, through a sort of rite of passage. The Ancients are not tied by blood, its not like theres a certain clan or family of Ancients.

Elissa: No three sizes! (Bust, waist, hip measurements, IIRC) She went on to say that male authors value those sorts of things too much, and that she needs to chastise them (those kinds of authors). It seems that Mamare and Elissa are good at dodging those kinds of questions (in a past interview, someone asked Mamare the same question and his response was thats Haras affair).

Aomori (Mikakages male companion) seems to be an easy target (for jokes)?

For the future of the Nyanta/Serara pairing, Elissa said that its sou_chus affair (Nyantas Fortune Recipes manga author). As for Soujiros real life info, Elissa said thats Koyukis affair. Apparently, in a series where people who show up for five seconds on-screen have names and professions, theres simply nothing for Souji. Maybe its because hes popular with girls, both in-series and out, that its supposed to be a gag? Maybe?

For details about the Hunter, Sword Saint, and Avenger subclasses, Elissa said to check the Celdessia Gazettes.

Maryelle and Naotsugu are getting to know each other more, something about slow flames building up steadily. She knows his real name now, it seems? Which we learned a while ago.

Shironijis real name is Amamiya Rakusu (雨宮らくす) (shes the white-haired Summoner girl from the Akiba Raid), and her older brothers name is Amamiya Yoriyoshi (雨宮自由). Quote Elissa, Why is the background characters info so detailed? (Case in point, I didnt even know Shironiji had an older brother where did he come from )

Lastly (technically, its the first one we got, but I translated starting from the most recent ones), Akatsuki goes to the University of Shibuya. Her younger sister told her to become a pet groomer because shes better at working with her hands than talking to other people. Implying, of course, that anythingbeen happening in real life.Huh? When has he been trying to get any title?Edit: By the way, last month there was a large Log Horizon infodump on the TRPG twitter. Most of it is just about real-world/pre-Catastrophe information, nothing that is glaringly plot-important at the moment.
