An anthropomorphized version of Ines Fujin appears as a character in the Japanese multimedia franchise Umamusume: Pretty Derby, previously voiced by Tomomi Mineuchi until her retirement from voice acting in 2022 followed by Rika Nagae. She is depicted as a responsible, hardworking girl who was born to a poor family, which references how her real-life counterpart's farm went bankrupt early in his life, and is devoted to repaying her family's kindness for enrolling her in Tracen Academy by becoming an exceptional racer. She works many part-time jobs to support them and her younger twin sisters, and extends this same caring disposition as a "big sister" to her classmates.
