Benten is modeled after Benzaiten, a Buddhist deity among the Japanese Seven Lucky Gods. By depicting her in a chainmail bikini, riding a flying motorcycle, and carrying a high-tech bazooka, Takahashi aimed to make her resemble the stereotypical member of an outlaw motorcycle club. By giving her a tomboyish and violent temperament, Takahashi contrasted the character with Benzaiten, who is typically characterized as a clever, graceful, and artistic figure.
