Creation and Design
The character is based on the unnamed boy character in the Gameslash publication, Crystal Monsters magazine. He appears on Issue #30 that was published on May of 1989. Maruko Jinko, the creator of the Crystal Jewels series was interested into creating the character, because he is "kind" and "playful". He borrowed the character from the magazine and he wanted to name the character. He named the character Maeko.

Maeko, the name which comes from “Honest Child”, is designed by Ashigo Midori and finalized by Zeturi Kanori. Maeko wears a sky-blue short-sleeved polo shirt and blue shorts with blue and black shoes. Maeko have short black hair and black eyes. His design was changed in Game Series IV, with long-sleeve purple polo-shirt and black pants, purple and white shoes and has bigger hair. Maeko has brown eyes instead of remaining black. During the localization for the North American audiences, Maeko changes to Elliott Mitoa because Jinko thinks the name would be benefit with the character in the English localization and his surname, Mitoa from Japanese 美 (mi) meaning "beautiful" combined with 人 (to) meaning "person", along with (a).

In the anime, Garuko Joshida initially overseen Elliott's design, and his iris increased in 3 Farko Arc, even more in Advanced Adventure. In The Dancer's life episode, Elliott's second outfit was revealed before the Crystal Jewels Advanced 2½ came out. When Joshida retires from continuing to design characters for the series, at the end of Advanced Adventure, Hidoshi Shayama, a designer since Season 13 (which he took Garuko Joshida's place after he retires to start designing series Dungeon Explores) replaces Joshida and design the characters for the No Quitting!! Series and the design remained the same for Mega Companions, Super! On Life! and Garnet and Turquoise. Elliott has larger brown irises in No Quitting!!, and he recieve a small decrease of his eyes in Moon Blade. In The Shield of the Hero series, Elliott received another increase of the brown irises. In Crystal Jewels Zenerations, Elliott was designed by Toshida Orobusa. In the localization of the United States, Jinko decided to "put him in United Kingdom" and make him British, lightheartedly attributing Elliott's nationality to his original outfit.

In Japanese, he shares the voice actor, Rebi Ushaki, with Kouchu from the Original Series, but since Kouchu got a new voice actor for the 3 Farko Arc series, Ushaki voiced Elliott alone until the end of the Advanced Adventure series. Rebi Ushaki stated that she is interested with the character in the series that she would keep track of his appearances in movies, manga, games, and merchandises.

The main reason for this is that video game companies (or in some cases, governments) would censor any characters and dialogue that so much as even mentioned not being straight. They believed that the inclusion of these characters and ideas would pollute children’s minds and turn them into bad people, not realizing that they don’t need the help of video games to grow up into perverted jerks."
