Registered name
Bucephalus
Bucephalus is, at least for now, more of a phantom name than a documented Uma Musume profile. Across the available official sites and major fan-reference targets, no supported evidence turns up for Bucephalus as an established, indexed Uma Musume character with a canon biography, design sheet, or standard profile details. In other words: it is a striking name, but not one the archive can presently anchor to a verified character entry.
That absence matters here. The searches associated with Bucephalus repeatedly point away from a confirmed Uma Musume and toward other uses of the name instead—most notably references connected to the historical horse Bucephalus, or to fan imagination and community discussion about what such a character might be like. Those are interesting trails, but they are not the same thing as an official or reliably documented in-series profile.
Because of that, key public-archive details simply are not supported at this time. No verified birthday, class, dorm, voice actor, measurements, self-pronoun, trainer form of address, or relationship data could be confirmed from the saved research. Likewise, no dependable personality notes, likes and dislikes, or character-story material were found in the searched sources.
So the most accurate way to present Bucephalus is with a little restraint: a memorable name with dramatic historical associations, but no confirmed Uma Musume character record presently attached to it in the available research. If stronger sourcing appears later, this entry could be expanded quickly—but for now, the archive should treat Bucephalus as unverified as an official Uma Musume character.
- Status: No supported evidence found for an official Uma Musume profile
- What search results mostly showed: unrelated uses of the name, including historical references and fan-created discussion
- Currently unsupported: profile stats, personality, relationships, voice, and character-specific lore

How to read the radar
Closer rings mean tighter links. Gold-glow paths mark mutual links, while softer lines show one-way connections. A Uma that belongs to multiple groups is shown once using sector priority: Stablemates first, then Rivals, then Same Races, then Related. Switch modes to rotate that category into the clearest reading position, then hover or lock a node to see every group it belongs to.
Touch fallback
BucephalusTouch and smaller layouts use grouped connection cards instead of the live radar. Open any entry to follow the relationship directly.

Bucephalus was a Japanese dark bay stallion of the 2010s, foaled on 30 March 2015 and bred by Yamagiwa Central Stud. He raced in the colours of Yoshio Oda and was trained from Ritto by Kazuya Nakatake, following a career that took in both JRA and NAR competition before his retirement.

Registered nameBucephalus
His pedigree combined major modern Japanese bloodlines. Bucephalus was by Black Tide and out of Erimo Princess, a daughter of King Kamehameha, giving him a background that linked Sunday Silence-line influence through his sire with one of Japan’s most important classic and stallion influences on the dam side. He also came from a family that included siblings such as Asukano Hayate, Lagoon Liberty, and Kitano Maxim.
Before racing, Bucephalus passed through the 2016 Hokkaido Summer Sale, where he sold for ¥11.34 million. That commercial beginning set up a modest but complete racing career: across 16 starts, he recorded 1 win. His earnings were split almost evenly between the two circuits, with ¥1.85 million in JRA prize money and ¥1.87 million in NAR earnings, reflecting a campaign that moved between Japan’s central and regional racing systems.
While Bucephalus was not a headline star, his record captures a familiar and important tier of the Japanese racing world: a horse with recognized pedigree, professional connections, and experience on both major racing stages. For archive purposes, that makes him representative of the many horses who contribute to the depth of the sport beyond the elite level. He is listed as retired.
