Trivia

 * She was actually referenced long before her introduction. About a year ago when she was released as a trainable horse girl in-game, Mejiro Dober mentions that “I want to follow that Ramonu-san…!” at the end of her training scenario. Then she was mentioned once more in Mejiro Ardan's character story and scenario.

Real Life
"In 1986, Oka Sho. That beautiful, black streamline. Even jealousy couldn't catch her up. Even admiration couldn't reach her. Nobody knew that horse would become the first Filly Triple Crown. The enchanting black bay. That horse's name is ―― Mejiro Ramonu."

Mejiro Ramonu is a racehorse in the middle of 1980s. She is the first Filly Triple Crown winner.


 * In those days, Mejiro Farm named their horses from mountains. Her name is based on the Aiguille de L'Amone in France's Mont Blanc, and is officially registered as such. Ramonu is the Japanese pronounciation of the name.
 * Until 1995, the Filly Triple Crown consisted of Oka Sho, Japanese Oaks and Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup. In 1996, Age restriction of QEII Cup changed into three years old or more, and new three-year-old limited race, Shuka Sho was founded. Mejiro Ramonu is the only Filly Triple Crown winner including QEII Cup.
 * Not only the Filly Triple Crown, she won all their trial races. So she was called the "Perfect Triple Crown".
