Kitasan Black is a racehorse in the middle of 2010s. He won seven G1s as many as Vodka or Symboli Rudolf, and earned over 1.8 billion JPY, the most in Japan at that time.


 * His owner is Saburo Kitajima (real name: Minoru Ono), an enka singer. Kitasan Black is the first G1 winner in his horses, through his 50 years of owner life.
 * Kitajima promised to sing his song "Matsuri " when Black would win Kikka Sho, and he actually did.
 * He sang again at 2017 Arima Kinen, his retirement race. He made a song "Thank you, Kitasan Black " and sold online. Those profit is donated for retired horses.
 * Fans say this was the first winning live in real life with a joke. Of course, it is not true. The first announcement of Uma Musume Project was in 2016.


 * Sakura Bakushin O is his broodmare sire. Though he is a sprinter, Kitasan Black became a stayer.
 * Though Satono Diamond is described as "her" friend and rival in Uma Musume, In real life They fought only twice because Black is one year older than Diamond. At the Classics, he fought rather with Satono Crown, the same age.
 * He could not defeat Duramente, Air Groove's grandson. He lost Satsuki and the Derby, at Kikka Duramente broke his leg, at 2016 Takarazuka both lost and Duramente finished earlier. Duramente retired after Takarazuka, and Black lost the opportunity to defeat him forever.
