The idea of a clown costume was thought to be unsuitable for such a handsome person, so he appears in the outfit only once (in episode 6) in the main story. However, the staff were surprised to hear that there are some dubious female fans who think this look is very lovely.

Recently, more of Trowa's human side has been exposed, and the subtle struggle between his cool side and surprisingly emotional side adds depth to the character.
