Tamamo Cross speaks Kansai dialect. Despite the fact that many of the umamusume in the game have Kansai-based ownership in real life, most other umamusume speak in Kanto or other dialects.

Tama was the only Kansai dialect-speaking character until Lucky Lilac's release.

Tamamo Cross is known for her love of rice, often being portrayed as a simple yet hardworking umamusume who cherishes her rural upbringing, reflecting the humble origins of her real-life counterpart.

The real-life Tamamo Cross was the inspiration for Midori Makibao, the titular horse from the comic Midori no Makibao.

This is also referenced in Umamusume.

In the mobile game, Tamamo Cross' Kansai dialect delivery mimics Makibao's way of speaking.

A collaboration between Cinderella Gray and Midori no Makibaou was published in Young Jump, with the creators of each manga drawing the other's characters.
