“This... is how you derive victory!”

―Biwa Hayahide

Biwa Hayahide is a character in the Umamusume franchise, introduced in the Umamusume: Pretty Derby anime's first season OVA episode. She is a student at Tracen Academy.

Profile[]

A theorist through and through, she breaks down any problem systematically. Theory-driven as she is, she values practical application, so her methods never end up as just talk. She has honed her ability to compete with the overwhelming talent of her sister, Narita Brian. She is good friends with schoolmates Narita Taishin and Winning Ticket.

Appearance[]

Biwa Hayahide has long and incredibly voluminous white hair, which is adorned by a pair of golden embellishments near her fluffy white ears. On her left ear is a simple gold clip, and on her right is an intricately detailed gold ring. She has yellow eyes, and wears a pair of red under-rim glasses.

Her race outfit consists of a fitted dark magenta jacket, adorned with gold buttons, and a pink collar and light pink accent. Her long sleeves have a pink triangular spike pattern on the cuffs. Underneath the jacket is a black button-up blouse with a red ribbon. She wears a dark magenta pleated skirt with a spiked pink design at the top. The skirt has waist cutouts on either side, and there's a red ribbon tied around her waist. Paired with thigh-high stockings with the same pink spikes—one leg featuring a cut-out circle at the top. She wears cool gray heeled loafers with buckles at the top.

Notes[]

In real life, he was going to fight with Narita Brian at Arima Kinen.
The announcer Kiyoshi Sugimoto is one of the first persons who said his face is big.

Trivia[]

She and Narita Brian are the first siblings appearing in Umamusume.^{[Note 1]}
She and her real-life counterpart has a "big face". In Umamusume, her personality comes from some Japanese idioms including "face" or "head".
- 頭でっかち (have big head)... too intelligent
- 顔が広い (have wide face)... have friendships with everyone
- 頭一つ抜けた (grown by one head)... grow suddenly
In Umamusume, she is self-conscious about the size of her head and insists that it's not big.
- In fact, she is so insecure about it that whenever “big” and “head” (or synonyms of both words) were put together in a sentence, she will respond with “What did you say about my head?” or “My head isn’t that big!” even when the sentence wasn’t referring to her.
She is often approached by hairspray companies to review their product.

↑ In the throughbred world, only horses that were born to same mother are called as siblings. For example, Mejiro Dober and Mejiro Bright have the same father, though, they are not siblings.
