I made a video about this.
Here are some of the observations:
Imu is named after the Jötunn Im https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ím
Jötnar are mythological creatures from norse mythology, the name is sometimes translated with "giant", which is misleading:
"Although the term "giant" is sometimes used to gloss the word "jötnar" and its apparent synonyms in some translations and academic texts, jötnar are not necessarily notably large."
So Imu can be a "Jötunn" evnen though he is not huge.
Imu never leaves Pangea Castle.
"The terms for the beings also have cognates in later folklore such as the British Yotun and Danish Jætte which can share some common features such as being turned to stone in the day and living on the periphery of society."
Imu lives on the Redline. Very high place. The highest mountain area in norway is called Joutenheimen, because it is said that the Jötnar live there.

Imu is a giant from Elbaf, who, for some reason, was just born not very tall. Oda will come up with some reason for that. Perhaps there were normal humans in his family tree.
