Trivia

• Tatsunomama uses the pronoun Watashi in Japanese.
• Tatsunomama's name and concept is a play on tatsunoko (タツノコ), a Japanese word meaning "seahorse" which literally translates to "dragon's child". As the "-ko" in her children's name means "child", her name in turn adds "mama" to the end in order to reflect her status as their parent.
