Source-derived summary

The Japanese multimedia franchise Umamusume: Pretty Derby, created by Cygames, centers around the titular Umamusume (ウマ娘; horse girls), kemonomimi who replace horses in the series' fictional universe and compete in organized races as both racers and idols. The vast majority of Umamusume featured in the franchise are named after Japanese racehorses, with their names, designs, and characterization inspired by their real-life equivalents' careers and personalities. As of September 2026, there are 135 playable Umamusume in the Umamusume Pretty Derby mobile game, many of whom also appear in the anime and manga series, alongside numerous additional Umamusume and human characters who appear throughout the franchise.

The franchise depicts Umamusume as all-female cursorial humans with the physical traits and characteristics of horses, including horse tails, horse ears, increased strength, high metabolisms, and the ability to run as fast as 70 km/h (43 mph). Each Umamusume wears a ribbon or other accessory on one ear (or wears a hat that tilts toward one ear) that indicates their real-life namesake's gender; to the viewer's right (proper left ear) indicates it was a mare, while to the viewer's left (proper right ear) indicates it was a stallion.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“List of Umamusume: Pretty Derby characters” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Umamusume and Pretty provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q133818168. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2026.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
