Hailed the "Innovator" by the URA (Umamusume Racing Association).

Personality:

An innovative Umamusume who boasts that she'll "revolutionize the world of Umamusume". Wielding traits like the vitality of a gyaru, logical thinking fostered by watching races and businesses from all around the world at a young age, and extraordinary creativity as her weapons, she's working toward her project day after day. As an aside, her birthday apparently coincides with a certain anniversary in this world.

She aims to "bring innovation to the world of Umamusume" and often views racing rotations as self-branding investments.

She is described as cheerful and self-assured, unbothered by others' opinions, and prefers to let her skills speak for themselves.

Motivated by a desire to elevate the status of dirt racing globally, she is a fan of dirt Umadols (Umamusume Idols) like Hokko Tarumae and Smart Falcon.

Despite her privileged background (as the daughter of a major company executive), she is friendly and humble, often helping her teammates and Tracen Academy.

She is noted for being gluttonous in some extent enjoying large meals, and engaging in playful pranks, such as digging traps for other students.

They say money can't buy happiness, but she doesn't believe in that. Yanko has enough money to buy the entirety of Liechtenstein, twice.

Guilty Pleasures: Rolling around in hay and doughnuts.
Secrets:

· She can sleep with any kind of pillow.

· Despite not working in her father's company or it's subsidiary. She's always employee of the month in both.

· She holds a personal grudge against the Dubai World Cup due to her placing 2nd.

Relationships:

· CyberAgent & CyGames: The company and subsidiary company of her father. Both of these companies are the biggest sponsor for the URA and Tracen Academy.

· Trainer: Yanko's Trainer.

· Marche Lorraine: Rival and underclassman. Despite Marche's shyness, Yanko makes sure to never leave her out in events with the help of Loves.

· Loves Only You: Rival and underclassman. Rival in not only races, but in social media. With Loves and Yanko always competing in online challenges together.

· Espoir City: Classmate and fellow Gyaru, both her and Yanko run races with great gusto.

· Red Desire: Rivals and classmate. Yanko is always left terrified when speaking with her, due to Red Desire saying that she's a revered saintess in the future and meanwhile Yanko will be given countless responsibilities.

· Matikanetannhauser: Schoomate and one-sided rival. Despite the two never have raced together, Yanko considers Machitan a rival in... being a nepobaby?

· Haru Urara: Fellow schoolmate, with both of them being dirt racers. Yanko enjoys Urara's spirit. Despite having never won, Urara always runs with a smile. Which Yanko admires.

Appearance:

Her hair includes red and white streaks, and she wears a chain tie. Three colored tags on her back ribbon denote her major G1 wins: Tokyo Daishoten, Saudi Cup, and Breeders' Cup Classic.

She sports a fedora with one ear through it, referencing her former teacher, and wears tinted eyewear. Even though sunglasses aren't allowed she's exempted.

Her eyes are green, with one pupil slightly darker. Almost as if to reflect the logo color of CyberAgent, the company her father owns.

Despite her love for big plates, she always stayd physically fit, even sporting six-pack abs. A rare feat for Umamusume. She seems to be real proud of her abs, due to her wearing a crop top to reveal them in her racewear.

For her racewear, she wears a red jacket with white stripes on the sleeves, mirroring the racing silks of her former teacher and the Tracen Academy tracksuit. Her jacket has a hole in it for her tail to freely swish free. She wears a black strapless top under her jacket, along with a short white slit skirt. Pins resembling waypointing arrows on her skirt symbolize her status as a globetrotter who has won races internationally.

She wears black shorts under her skirt, along with dark red stockings reaching the top of her knees. Her boots have four golden buckles, she likes shoe buckles.

Six colored tags hanging onto two ribbons are attached to her skirt, representing her racing victory souvenirs.

Her chain necktie and bold fashion choices reinforce her gyaru (glamorous, trendy) persona, setting her apart as a fashionable and forward-thinking racer. Her tie color matches the her older school's colors.

Though in Tracen Academy or anywhere else but in a race track, she usually just wears the Tracen Academy uniform. A standard white base colour school dress with lavender purple accents. With a lavender purple ribbon at the front of uniform's chest part. Or when training, she usually has to wear red-white trackwear.

Umamusume Information:

Umamusume, colloquially referred to as horse girls or simply Umas, are a species of reincarnated racehorses from another world. Their fate is to do whatever it takes to run towards their goals. Though they act as more like a third gender rather than a separate species to humans, as they're biologically still human.

Umamusume are humanoid girls who possess horse traits and features. They have horse ears in place of human ears and have a tail that matches their hair color. They possess incredible speed and stamina, far beyond that of a human and comparable with that of a real-life horse.

Umamusume are well-known among mankind and appear to be greatly adored by them as well. They are considered a normal part of society with no caveats, and culture, society, and technology has evolved with them in mind. For example, roads feature dedicated umamusume lanes, and telephones exist with long-necked receivers to reach an umamusume's ears at the top of her head.

Trivia:

· There are no normal horses in the world.
· Umamusume can run on walkways. They even have specific lanes to run on freely on roads.
· There are no horse boys or "Umashonen".
· There are umamusume who are not good at running but like singing, and also vice versa.
· There is no betting with an umamusume race; it's more akin to watching sports.
· Some umamusume are active in other sports and activities.
· Social media platforms are named after umas. Umastagram instead of Instagram, UmaTok instead of TikTok, UmaTube instead of YouTube and so on and so forth.
· Terms like "Hold your horses!" or horse related sayings still exist.
· Umamusume possess far stronger and faster feats than humans (up to ~70 km/h), with a higher base body temperature of about 37.5–38 °C, like real horses. Though most Umamusume usually stay around the same strength as a regular human female without training.

Location:

In a world where horses don't exist (and elephants replace them historically), only horse girls who inherit names from equestrians from a different world, one place stand out for all Umamusume, Tracen Academy: A Japan Umamusume Training Center Academy or Japan Umamusume Training Schools and Colleges. Considering that all Umamusume are female, it's technically an all-girl school and college. Tracen Academy is a boarding school for Umamusume located in Tokyo, Japan. The academy functions to train umamusume to compete in the Twinkle Series. Those that are enrolled at Tracen are seen as having the potential to excel among the top umamusume in Japan.

Tracen Academy's motto is "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."

Facilities inside Tracen:
· Main School Building
· Cafeteria
· Dormitories
· Library
· Training Track
· Training Pool
· Training Gym
· Dance Studio
· Outdoor Dance Stages

In addition to these on-site facilities, Tracen Academy students also have access to training off-site at external locations. The only known external training camp is the beach summer camp. Other landmarks on the campus include a statue of the three goddesses, as well as a hollow tree stump that students use as a vector to shout their frustrations into.

Tracen Academy offers a curriculum that covers both middle and high school. Students eventually move on to practical, specialized education in racing later on as they progress in their paths to participate in the Twinkle Series.

Tracen includes several skilled staff, which includes:

· Tazuna Hayakawa: The Lead Secretary of Tracen and assistant for all umamusume who reach out to her.

· Director Yayoi Akikawa: The ambitious and caring chairwoman of Tracen Academy, she's younger than most of the student body and can't ride a rollercoaster without adult supervision due to height and age...

· Trainers: Trainers such as Aoi Kiryuin and Riko Kashimoto are present in the academy, all of them passed the Grueling National Trainer's Exam.
