Uma profile
Kawakami Princess lives up to her name with fearless theatrical flair. She presents herself not merely as a princess, but as a princess among princesses: proud, polished, and gloriously larger than life. Her introduction says everything about her style—she intends to crush her rivals into the dirt, gracefully, of course—and that contrast is her whole charm. She dreams of becoming a princess, yet the image she projects is never fragile. Instead, she is bold, spirited, and impossible to ignore, wrapping explosive strength in impeccable ceremony.
That princess act is not a shallow affectation so much as a full worldview. Kawakami Princess calls herself watakushi, addresses her mentor as Trainer-san, and carries herself with the formal confidence of someone who believes elegance should be practiced as seriously as power. Even the smallest profile notes lean into that self-made grandeur: she is proud of ears worthy of a tiara, and she affectionately calls her tail her “Princess Tail.” Her family, appropriately enough, chose clothes for her that were both cute and durable—a practical little detail that feels perfectly suited to someone trying to stay regal while clearly possessing enough force to make “durable” a necessity.
She is compact at 154 cm, with a recorded weight of “No change (of course!)”, and the “of course!” feels wonderfully in character. Born on June 5, a Junior Division student in Ritto Dormitory, she shares a room with Seeking The Pearl. Her voice actress, Karin Takahashi, gives that proud presentation a fitting presence. Kawakami Princess also has a notable competitive orbit in the available profile data, with Fusaichi Pandora and Sweep Tosho listed as rivals, and related names including Seeking The Pearl, Sweep Tosho, King Halo, and Fusaichi Pandora.
The best part of Kawakami Princess, though, is how neatly her poise coexists with wonderfully earthy, unexpected details. Her strong point is catching pests with her bare hands. One listed weak point is being wasteful. Her secrets are delightfully memorable: she once grew 12 cm in a single year, and she is exceptionally good at catching beetles. It all adds up to a character who is not just pretty or proper, but vividly physical—someone who can polish a princess image to a shine while still sounding startlingly capable of handling the rough stuff herself.

Kawakami Princess was one of the standout Japanese fillies of the mid-2000s, a bay mare foaled on 5 June 2003 and raced in the colours of her breeder-owner, Mitsuishi Kawakami Bokujo. Trained at Ritto by Katsuichi Nishiura, she was a homebred who rose all the way to the top level, giving her connections a Classic success of lasting note.
Her pedigree combined Japanese and American influence. She was by King Halo and out of Takano Secretary, a daughter of Seattle Slew. That made her a mare with a strong middle-distance profile on paper, and her career bore that out. The fact that she carried the name and silks of the Kawakami operation all the way to elite success also added to her appeal as a homebred performer.
Kawakami Princess reached her peak at three in 2006, when she won the Yushun Himba, the Japanese Oaks, a Group 1 victory that secured her place among the leading fillies of her generation. In Japan, an Oaks triumph is enough to define a career, and hers came in one of the sport’s most prestigious tests for three-year-old fillies. Her overall earnings in JRA racing reached ¥350.89 million, underscoring both her class and consistency at a high level.
That season’s achievements were recognised with the JRA Award for Best Three-Year-Old Filly in 2006. The available records also credit her with a JRA award as Best Horse By Home-bred Sire, further highlighting the significance of her background as a high-level runner by King Halo. Together, those honours marked her as more than a one-race Classic winner: she was an award-winning filly whose success resonated through both performance and pedigree.
After her racing days, Kawakami Princess was recorded as retired. Even in summary, her record stands out clearly: a homebred bay mare, trained by Katsuichi Nishiura, who turned pedigree promise into Classic reality by winning the Japanese Oaks and earning championship recognition. She remains a notable representative of her sire King Halo and of the Mitsuishi Kawakami Bokujo breeding and racing programme.
