The Japanese name of Walruss in Super Princess Peach is Seiuchi-kun, according to this.
This is the same name as Seiuchi-kun from Legendary Starfy 3. When I first read that TMK page a rather long time ago, I was not convinced it was a cameo even though Legendary Starfy 3 and Super Princess Peach were both developed by Tose, with Walruss not resembling Legendary Starfy 3's Seiuchi-kun, and the name is not really special. 海象 【せいうち】 is a real Japanese word for "walrus" and kun is an honorific for young males.
(They don't share much in common appearance wise...):
However, on hindsight, it would seem unusual if Tose did not show some awareness to Legendary Starfy 3 in choosing the name.
What do you guys think?/Should it be on NinDB?
Here is another fun fact. In The Legendary Starfy, there is a Moe's Family quiz in Stage 6-3 where one of the (wrong) answers to a question is "Cloud Man". In the Japanese version, the answer is 雲おじさん which reads "Kumo Ojisan". Kumo Ojisan is actually a character in Legendary Starfy 4.
