Umamusume: Pretty Derby[b] is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by Cygames. The franchise centers on anthropomorphized racehorses known as Umamusume (ウマ娘; lit. 'horse girls'), who compete in races inspired by real-life race tracks managed by the Japan Racing Association. Most of the characters are named and modeled after actual racehorses, reflecting their namesakes' personalities, racing records, and relationships with other racehorses.[c] Initially announced in 2016 as a mobile game, the franchise soon expanded to include multiple anime series, manga, and live concerts.

The game was scheduled to debut in late 2018 for iOS and Android devices, but it was delayed to a February 2021 release, with a Windows client releasing a month later on DMM Games. The game was later released on Google Play Games in April 2023. The game was released in Korean by Kakao Games and Traditional Chinese by Komoe Game in June 2022, with the former language getting a PC version in a stand-alone client a year later, then later in Simplified Chinese by Bilibili in August 2024. An English-language edition was released worldwide in June 2025 for the aforementioned platforms, alongside a Steam release for both the Japanese and English versions.

An anime television series adaptation produced by P.A. Works aired from April to June 2018. A second season produced by Studio Kai, with the former studio assisting in its production, aired from January to March 2021. A third season produced solely by Studio Kai aired from October to December 2023.

Alongside the main anime series, multiple anime spin-offs have been made. An anime television series adaptation of the manga Umayon aired from July to September 2020. Its sequel, titled Umayuru, was released from October 2022 to March 2023. A web anime produced by Cygames' in-house animation studio CygamesPictures titled Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Road to the Top was released from April to May 2023. An anime film also produced by CygamesPictures titled Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era premiered in Japan in May 2024. An anime television series adaptation of Umamusume: Cinderella Gray produced by CygamesPictures aired from April to December 2025, with a short spin-off anime titled Umayuru: Pretty Gray being released from April to May 2025.

The franchise has been received positively, both domestically in Japan and worldwide following the game's global release in 2025. The franchise has also had a significant cultural impact, with observers notably remarking its positive impact to the sport of horse racing and bringing awareness to the stories of racehorses.

Premise

[edit]
Main article: List of Umamusume: Pretty Derby characters

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is set in a fictional universe similar to the real modern world but featuring the titular Umamusume, female kemonomimi with the ears, tails, and capabilities of horses who live alongside humans and replace actual horses in the franchise's setting. Many Umamusume are inspired by real-life Thoroughbred racehorses of the past and present who seek fame and fortune as both racers and idols by competing in organized races akin to middle-distance and long-distance track events. The series centers on Umamusume who attend the elite Tracen Academy in Tokyo and train to compete in the Twinkle Series of professional races organized by the Umamusume Racing Association (URA). The main stories across the series are focused on specific Umamusume and loosely based on the racing careers of the racehorses they are based on.

Anime

[edit]

The main anime series depicts the journeys of various Umamusume who are affiliated with Team Spica, a racing team at Tracen Academy. Each season is a direct follow-up to the previous one, though the historical content greatly varies based on the real-life racing careers of the focused character.

  • The first season features Special Week, who aspires to become the best Umamusume in Japan, all while idolizing Silence Suzuka's style and wanting to reach the same heights as her and their friends with King Halo, El Condor Pasa, Seiun Sky, and Grass Wonder. The story is based on Special Week's races from 1997 to 1999.[4]
  • The second season features Tokai Teio, who continues to persevere despite suffering multiple injuries that endanger her career and struggling to remain one of the best racers of her generation that includes Mejiro McQueen, Rice Shower, and Mihono Bourbon. The story is based on Tokai Teio's races from 1991 to 1993.[5]
  • The third season features Kitasan Black, who aims to win on her own merits through her camaraderie and friendly rivalry with Satono Diamond, while also facing a new generation of Umamusume such as Duramente, Satono Crown, and Cheval Grand. The story is based on Kitasan Black's races from 2015 to 2017.[6]

Road to the Top and Beginning of a New Era respectively feature Narita Top Road and Jungle Pocket in the rivalries that defined their generation of Umamusume, with Narita Top Road facing off against T. M. Opera O and Admire Vega, and Jungle Pocket against Agnes Tachyon, Manhattan Cafe, and Dantsu Flame.[7][8] They are based on events surrounding the Classic races of 1999 and 2001.

Manga

[edit]

Cinderella Gray and its anime adaptation depict the races between Oguri Cap, who transfers from the regional racing scene to the Twinkle Series, and rivals of the previous and next generations that include Tamamo Cross, Inari One, and Super Creek. The story is based on Oguri Cap's races from 1987 to 1990.

Star Blossom depicts the races of Sakura Laurel and her peers such as Sakura Bakushin O, Mayano Top Gun, Marvelous Sunday, and Narita Brian, as she aspires to achieve acclaim through defeating Narita Brian and racing at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in spite of her fragile body. The story is based on Sakura Laurel's races from 1994 to 1997.

Video game

[edit]

Part 1 of the main story focuses on the efforts of Team Sirius as it flourishes following the retirement of the team's star racer and previous trainer. The story is based on the races run by Mejiro McQueen, Rice Shower, Winning Ticket and Narita Brian in the 1990s, while additionally covering Silence Suzuka and Special Week's races in the late 1990s.[9] A number of supporting characters appear throughout the story including Gold Ship, Biwa Hayahide, and Narita Taishin.[10]

Part 2 of the main story focuses on the efforts of Team Ascella and the journeys of Tiara Umamusume, who are characters based on racemares. The story is based on the races run by racemares Rhein Kraft, Cesario, and Fusaichi Pandora in the mid-2000s, and features a supporting cast such as King Halo, Air Messiah, and Daring Heart.[11][12]

Gameplay

[edit]
Career gameplay interface, featuring the trainee Daiwa Scarlet.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a sports simulation game that allows players, who are referred to in-game as "trainers", to raise and train Umamusume to compete in races whilst achieving the Umamusume's individual goals. Players collect two types of units through the game's gacha system: playable Umamusume or "trainees," and support cards that provide skills and bonuses.[13]

The main gameplay mode, "Career," lets players choose a scenario, trainee, and support cards, then work to achieve specific goals. The game operates on a calendar system, with each action or turn taking up half a month, requiring strategic planning and balancing of the actions to be taken. The calendar used is based on the real-life JRA's race schedule, with the races that trainees can enter being based on their real-life equivalents, such as the Japan Cup or the Arima Kinen.[13]

Players use turns to raise their trainee's five attributes (speed, stamina, power, guts, and wit), rest to restore energy, or enter races to earn skill points and fans. Additionally, random events can occur during a Career attempt that may grant additional stats, skills, and buffs or debuffs, as well as positively or negatively impact the trainee's mood, which affects training effectiveness and race performance.[13]

Completing or failing a trainee's goals, as well as reaching certain stat totals and acquiring skills, grants stats and potential skills known as "sparks". These can be passed down to trainees as "legacies," allowing them to inherit these and be strengthened in future Career attempts.[13]

Alongside the Career, players can also partake in other game modes, including the PvP "Team Trials" and "Champion's Meeting" races, where players use their best trainees and compete against each other in a set of races for various rewards, and "Legend Races," where players race against notable Umamusume to gain rewards and upgrade their trainees.[13]

The game received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[155] Critics praised the diversity of content offered, gameplay depth that encourages replay value, and character writing which respects their real-life inspirations. However, critics have also criticized the monetization through the gacha system as being predatory and the gameplay potentially being difficult for casual players.[156][157][158][159][160]

Revenue

[edit]

The mobile game, within ten months of release, grossed nearly US$965 million (¥142.7 billion) in Japan by December 2021, making it the ninth-highest-grossing mobile game in 2021.[161][162] The game has since generated over $2.5 billion (¥375 billion) in revenue as of March 2025, making it one of the most profitable mobile games in Japan.[163][164]

Following its global release in June 2025, the game generated $45.4 million worldwide for the first 30 days, of which 50.3% comprised sales outside Japan. Among international markets, the United States accounted for 68% of all overseas spending and 34% of total global revenue.[165][166]

Manga

[edit]

The manga spin-off, Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, was nominated in the seventh Next Manga Awards for the Best Print Manga category and placed second of 50 nominees after Oshi no Ko.[180][181][182]

Anime

[edit]

The Blu-ray release of the second season of the anime television series became the highest-selling home video release of a television anime series in Japan.[183][184]

The compilation film Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Road to the Top debuted at sixth at the Japanese box office on its opening weekend.[185] Two weeks later, the film Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era debuted at first in gross, earning over ¥354 million on its opening weekend, and at second in attendance.[186][187]

Between April and June 2025, it was ranked number one in the world in the AniLab Global Weekly Anime Rankings a total of four times.[188] In the spring 2025 season, it took first place in the weekly rankings of Anime Trending, a major voting site for overseas anime fans, in its seventh week, beating out Weekly Shonen Jump's Witch Watch, and continued to hold the top spot until the final episode.[189][190] Uma Musume Cinderella Gray took first place in the weekly rankings of Anime Trending for the fall 2025 season, and won the Best Anime of 2025.[191]

Uma Musume Cinderella Gray won the Spring Anime Award on Anime Corner, an international website used by 20 million people monthly across the global community.[192] It was described as a "true Cinderella story" as the first time in history that a series topped the final ranking despite not having topped the weekly rankings.[193] Overseas fans and viewers commented on the series' late-stage comeback, saying it was "just like Oguri Cap (from the series)".[192]

Cultural impact

The franchise has had a significant cultural impact, particularly in Japan, becoming a multi-billion dollar multimedia franchise. The franchise also consistently emphasizes universal themes like perseverance, teamwork, personal growth, and overcoming challenges, which resonate with a broad audience.[194] While its primary market is Japan, the game has also been released in other Asia-Pacific territories, and an English version was eventually released, indicating its broader global impact.[195]

Domestic

[edit]

Masayuki Gotō, a chairman of the Japan Racing Association, showed his gratitude to Umamusume: Pretty Derby for its positive influence on the horse racing community in an interview on Weekly Gallop published in December 2021.[196] The franchise has also helped bring awareness to retired racehorses represented within the franchise, such as Haru Urara and Nice Nature, allowing them to receive donations from the franchise's fans.[197][198]

The franchise was also commented by media observers to contribute to a significant revival of horse racing pop culture, such as idol performances, slice-of-life elements, and a global sporting powerhouse.[13][199] The popularity of the game's idol culture can be observed with various covers and dance videos of one of the game's songs, "Umapyoi Densetsu" (うまぴょい伝説, "Umapyoi Legend"), being uploaded to social media.[200] In January 2023, "Umapyoi Densetsu" was awarded a Gold streaming certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for reaching over 50 million streams.[201][202][203]

International

[edit]

In September 2025, a Cygames developer reflected on the overseas launch of Umamusume, noting initial uncertainty about how a game rooted in Japanese horse racing culture would be received internationally. Despite these concerns, the title was met with a positive response following its June 2025 global release, aided by its established multimedia presence through anime and manga, as well as careful globalization that preserved Japanese cultural elements while making them accessible to international audiences.[204] The developer reported that overseas players quickly became a significant share of the game's mobile revenue and expressed hope that the game might also foster greater interest in horse racing outside Japan.[205]

Within the first week of Umamusume's global English language release on June 26, 2025, Steam's player charts revealed that there was a consistent rate between 15,000 and 30,000 players,[206] with content creators such as Ludwig Ahgren and Northernlion enjoying the game, as well as Cygames' panel at Anime Expo 2025 having life-sized statues of some of the characters. Many people on social media have commented on the racing aspect of the game, driving interest and awareness towards the real-life horses the characters are based on.[207]

Following its global release, cosplayers and fans of the franchise began appearing at horse racing events around the world. In the United States, meet-ups were held at Turf Paradise in Arizona and at Santa Anita Park in California during the Cygames-sponsored American Oaks,[208] where fans experienced horse racing live for the first time. Observers believe that Umamusume: Pretty Derby can impact American horse racing despite skepticism towards its positive effects, as horse racing enthusiast Nathan Klein points out how the sport's initial perception of being "an old man’s sport and a gambling den" has softened in the wake of the franchise's popularity, with a younger audience becoming drawn and interested in horse racing and its stories.[209][210]

Cosplayers and fans also appeared at horse racing events in Southeast Asia, with event organizers endorsing them. Notable examples include the Queen's and King's Cups of Thailand, the Merdeka Cup of Malaysia, and the Indonesia Derby and the Piala Raja Hamengkubuwono X of Indonesia, where participating venues and organizers including the Royal Bangkok Sports Club and Indonesian event promoter Sarga Co. acknowledged fans and invited them to visit in cosplay, sometimes also organizing cosplay races on the track, and participate in fan art competitions portraying local racehorses.[211][212]

During the 2025 NFL season, some fans of the Denver Broncos began to attend games while cosplaying as Umamusume characters. Additionally, an online trend of posting Broncos highlight reels set to the game's theme song started to gain traction.[213]

Collaborations

[edit]

In August 2021, Cygames and Paramount Pictures announced a collaboration in Japan between Umamusume: Pretty Derby and Top Gun: Maverick.[214] Mayano Top Gun – whose namesake horse was also named in part after the original 1986 Top Gun film – was named a special advertising pilot, and the collaboration featured her in an alternate version of the movie's poster, with her voice actress, Mio Hoshitani, additionally interviewing some of the cast and crew of the movie.[214]

A collaboration campaign with Starhorse 4 was held on July 20, 2022, and February 2023, which added background music, chat stamps, and a Career scenario titled "Grand Masters" featuring Starhorse series race commentator Kiyoshi Sugimoto to the game.[215][216][217]

Collaborations with Japanese sports magazine Sports Graphic Number and horse racing magazine Weekly Gallop were released on October 20, 2022, and October 22, 2023, respectively, featuring special feature articles on the franchise, alongside special illustrations of several Umamusume characters.[218][219][220]

In May 2025, the franchise was highlighted as part of an exhibit at the Smithsonian-affiliated International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Titled Uma no Kokoro (馬の心, "Heart of the Horse"), the exhibit displays the Japanese horse world including horses' spiritual, cultural legacy, and sporting roles in the country.[221][222] The exhibition was also held during the Expo 2025 in Osaka and the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in Annecy, France, in collaboration with France Galop ahead of Cygames Grand Prix de Paris.[223]

Alongside these, minor collaborations have also been held. Haru Urara and Oguri Cap appeared in Cygames' Shadowverse card game as crossover characters.[224][225] Select characters from the franchise were also chosen as participants in Love Live!'s 15th anniversary tribute album released in was January 2026. Tokai Teio, Oguri Cap, Gold Ship, Still in Love and Almond Eye were named as the singers of a cover of Bokura wa Ima no Naka de by µ's, the opening theme of Season 1 of the School Idol Project anime.[226][227][228]
