SARGA.CO – Among the vibrant and colorful parade of Uma Musume characters, there is one figure who captivates not only with her visual charm but also with the prestigious legacy she carries from the real-world Japanese horse racing scene. She is Mejiro McQueen, the legendary racehorse who has become one of the main characters in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, the game and anime that blends the world of horse racing with the spirit of moe.
Mejiro McQueen was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse born in 1987, known as a long-distance racing specialist. She came from the renowned “Mejiro” horse family and was the granddaughter of the extraordinary Mejiro Ramonu. During her racing career, Mejiro McQueen won several prestigious Grade 1 races, including the Tenno Sho (Spring) twice (1991, 1992), the Kikuka Sho (Japanese St. Leger), the Hanshin Daishoten, and the Nikkei Sho.
In the world of Uma Musume, Mejiro McQueen is portrayed as a graceful and refined noblewoman, polite and filled with a strong sense of responsibility. She is depicted as the granddaughter of the Mejiro family’s owner and often serves as a mature role model among the other Uma Musume.
Her character design is elegant—silvery-white hair, classic-style outfits, and a calm yet competitive personality. She is not only beautiful and charismatic but also embodies the honor and dedication of a true athlete.
In both the anime and the game, Mejiro McQueen often acts as a mentor or partner to Tokai Teio, forming an emotional duo. Their story becomes central in Uma Musume Season 2, deeply moving audiences with its portrayal of struggle, injury, and solidarity in the racing world.
Skills and Role in the Game

Mejiro McQueen is respected not only for her real-world track record but also for the way her character has been faithfully and respectfully brought to life in Uma Musume. She serves as a bridge between the world of sports and entertainment, inspiring younger generations to learn about Japan’s long horse racing history.
