The popular game Umamusume: Pretty Derby came to life in Peru, drawing over 5,000 fans to the Hipodromo de Monterrico for the first official cosplay race held in Latin America.
With support from the creators of Umamusume, cosplayers dressed as the popular “horse girls” raced each other. The goal? To show off their favorite character and win the title of best costume!
A 22-year-old math student named Daniel Barrera won a cosplay contest, dressing up as the famous racehorse Haru Urara, according to a post from Chilean pop culture site FrikimaniaTV.
Umamusume cosplay race ends with Haru Urara winning
Haru Urara is inspired by a real Japanese racehorse famous for trying her hardest despite never winning in 113 races. She consistently competed and gave it her all.
Her determination and refusal to quit made her a beloved symbol of perseverance in Japan, and her story resonated worldwide, with fans sending her gifts even during her final days.
As you might expect, viewers loved the fact that the franchise’s most well-known underdog character actually won a real-life race – it was a really ironic and satisfying moment.
One person commented that Haru Urara, as expected, won the dirt track race. Another responded, jokingly suggesting it was unusual for Haru Urara to actually win.
Honestly, everyone kept saying how incredibly tough this race was, and for good reason! It wasn’t a normal course – it was a dirt track originally built for horses! Just running on that sand was a challenge, let alone actually winning. It really takes something special to succeed there.
As a huge Umamusume fan, it’s amazing to see how much the series means to people! It’s not just online either – I remember seeing cosplayers dressed as the girls even running in a real horse race at the Thailand Queen’s Cup! And it gets even better – fans actually came together to restore the grave of Mejiro Ardan in China. We’ve also managed to raise over $600,000 to help rebuild horse stables back in Japan. It’s incredible to see the community come together like this!
