Kanto/Kansai rivarly is similar to Yankee/Redneck you know...
It's not, though. Kansai dialect is not equivalent to slow-talking country bumpkin at all. Both areas are metropolitan areas, and the two most populous ones in Japan, at that. A more apt comparison would be the New York / L.A. rivalry.
To be fair, though, there isn't an actual perfect 1:1 comparison between Kanto / Kansai and any two US regions.
