- According to his Mii ID, Saburo was created on August 30, 2006, at 9:42:44 AM.
  - This means he was the forty-second Wii Sports CPU Mii to be created during the game development.
Saburo is one of the three CPU Miis to use a set of custom height and weight values in Nintendo Switch Sports; his height value is set to 127 (maximum) and his weight value is set to 39.
- The other two CPU Miis to use a set of custom height and weight values in Nintendo Switch Sports are Eva, and Tyrone.
- This also makes him the tallest CPU Mii in Nintendo Switch Sports, along with Eva.
On the cover of Wii Sports, he is seen playing Boxing against another player, making him the only CPU Mii in the game to appear on the cover.

Saburo is ambidextrous because he is left-handed in Tennis, but right-handed in Baseball, Basketball, and Table Tennis.
- According to the files in Wii Sports, his unused Boxing stance is right-handed.
In both Tennis and Boxing, Saburo is the 7th best player.
- He is one of the 4 CPU Miis in Wii Sports to share the same ranking in both Tennis and Boxing. The other 3 are Theo, Eva, and Emma, being the 8th best, 5th best, and 16th worst in both sports respectively.
In Wii Sports, Saburo is always 1 rank better than Theo in all sports.
Along with Marisa, Saburo is never faced against in Swordplay, Table Tennis, or Basketball after the Champion is beaten (unless he's a teammate of Maria or Siobhán).
- This is caused by a glitch in the code where the game randomly picks an opponent by selecting an internal ID between, but not including IDs 000 and 099. Since Saburo's ID is 000, he is not in this range and therefore never appears after the Champion.
In contrast to other Wii CPU Miis, Saburo does not appear in Wii Fit. This is because a duplicate of Hiroshi takes over his original ID.
- This was changed in Wii Fit Plus, where Saburo now appears.

Saburo has a 55% chance of being in Pro Class in Baseball if the player's skill level is between 851 and 949 points. He is always a Pro if the player's skill level is between 950 and 964 points, making him the first Mii in Baseball to always be a Pro if you reach a specific Skill Level.
