Horse girls are officially coming to the MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix in first-of-its-kind Umamasume crossover

Umamusume: Pretty Derby, the popular mobile game featuring anthropomorphized horse girls, is making its debut at the MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix. This marks the first time the game will be featured at a major motorsport event. The crossover collaboration between the game's publisher and developer Cygames will see game art on display at the race, with a massive 155-meter display featuring eight popular characters from the game.

Additionally, a special display board in the Grandstand entrance will showcase artwork from the game, and photo spots will be available for fans to take pictures with their favorite characters. Voice actor Tomoyo Takayanagi, known for her role as the racehorse Oguri Cap, will also wave the chequered flag at various MotoGP races during the event.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby, based on real-life horses, has been credited with reviving interest in the sport and has since expanded into multiple anime, manga, and video game adaptations. The game is available on mobile devices through the App Store and Google Play Store, as well as PC via Steam.
