Matikanetannhauser (マチカネタンホイザ, Machikane Tanhoiza) is a supporting character in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Profile[]
Straightforward and positive-thinking, this model student always gives 110 percent! But despite her efforts, her inner ditz often has her fumbling in crucial moments. The ups and downs balance out into results that are—according to her—completely average. She sometimes wishes she could be more like the strong personalities around her, but she's determined to charge through and find success her own way!
Appearance[]
She has chestnut hair with a hat (it's her third hat) worn diagonally over her right ear. Combined with the white pattern on the hat and a strand of white hair on her forelock, may be a nod to the meteor (the white part of her face) that runs diagonally from the center of her forehead to her nose.
Her style is that of German folk costumes, in keeping with the origin of her name. Her corset, ribbon, and socks are red, her mini-flared skirt, tie, and hat are blue, and her shirt and skirt are white with jockey shorts underneath.
Relationships[]

- Twin Turbo: Teammate.

- Yayoi Akikawa: The director of Tracen Academy. The director cares about her.

Trivia[]
- In the anime, there is a scene where she gets a nosebleed from an unfortunate accident. This comes from an episode below.
- She makes holes in her own caps to hook in her right ear.
- On the website of anime season 2,[1] her name is written as "Matikane Tannhauser", different from real-life one. When she was published on the portal site,[2] it was corrected omitting a space.
- Senior year Japan Cup is one of her main objectives. Though she wouldn't be able to race in the Japan Cup due to a nosebleed no matter what, making the objective moot. This is a reference to her cancelling the 1994 Japan Cup due to a nosebleed and the only way for her to participate in the senior year Japan Cup is to play a scenario where objectives are scenario objectives instead of character objectives (like Make a New Track). However, she could still race in the senior year Arima Kinen, while the real horse cancelled it due to hives.
