Seiun Sky

"After this is the 40km run! Leave it to me~ Whoops, my motivation died!"

- Seiun Sky

Seiun Sky (セイウンスカイ, Seiun Sukai) is a supporting character in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

Personality
She is a drowsy horse girl who rarely gets serious in most situations. Despite her seemingly easygoing personality, she is capable of displaying astounding ability once she gets motivated. Covertly, she is a born trickster, able to trick rival racers during races. However, she is shown slightly stressed at the Tokyo Yūshun.

She doesn't like going into the starting gate.

Appearance
She has short powder blue hair and a sunflower hair-pin clipped at her left side of her bangs. She also wears a green cap with cloud patterns and cotton rear on her right ear. Her eyes are blue and somewhat weary most of the times.

Real Life
"When I looked at the electric scoreboard in Tokyo Dome, Seiun Sky was there, in Uma Musume advertisement! 'You still live there...' I produced and had grown Seiun Sky, I watched all his races at the stands, made him a studhorse, and was present at his final moments. As Shigeyuki Nishiyama, I do nothing but being impressed. Probably, most of people who see Seiun Sky in Uma Musume don't know his racing life. Nevertheless, who should I tell my appreciation to?"

- Shigeyuki Nishiyama, the owner

Seiun Sky is a racehose in the late 1990s. He is a representative frontrunner of the 1998-Classic generation. He ran with varied paces and tricked others.


 * Both Seiun and Nishino are the crown name of same owner, Nishiyama Farm.
 * His jockey Norihiro Yokoyama let him run with high speed at first, secondly he slowened, and at last he accelerated at the homestretch. Their phantasmagorical run gave them the Double Crown, especially Kikka Sho.
 * Horse girl Seiun Sky's character is based on those tactics, so fans say she is an womanized character of Nori-san.
 * He had been the last horse who won Kikka with frontrunning, though, in 2021, Titleholder and Norihiro's son Takeshi Yokoyama did again.
 * His racing silk had changed since 1999 Kyoto Dai Shoten . Borders turned into purple from green because his titular owner had changed.
 * His latter owner Shigeyuki Nishiyama managed to succeed his pedigree. Nishino Daisy, the Nakayama Dai Shogai winner, is his and Nishino Flower's great-grandson.
