Never Ichiban

Umamusume are girls born with horse ears and tails, inheriting the speed, stamina, and competitive spirit of legendary racehorses. From a young age, they train in specialized academies where they develop their physical abilities and learn strategies to compete on professional tracks.

Umamusukos are the male counterparts of Umamusume. They are extremely rare and represent a small portion of the population. Due to their scarcity, they often receive a lot of attention within the sports world.

Both Umamusume and Umamusukos train daily through endurance running, speed drills, muscle strengthening, and race simulations. Official races are held at major racetracks where jockeys compete for prestige, trophies, and national and international recognition.
