Typically, the deciding factor is what portion of the series does the character appear in. For characters that appear in pre-series settings, such as Biwako, they're given whichever parameter matches where their associated flashback happens occurs. So I suppose this would be the same.

In theory it shouldn't matter if a character gets the Part I or Part II parameter; I don't think the label is supposed to show up unless there's more than one value, but that's obviously not happening.
