Uma profile
Mejiro Palmer
Mejiro Pāmā, or Mejiro Palmer (メジロパーマー), carries a name with real flair, and even her basic profile has a touch of style to it. A Senior Division Uma Musume from Ritto Dormitory, she stands at 160 cm and is known by the nicknames Palmer and Palmerchin. Voiced by Yuri Noguchi, she has a presence that feels lively and memorable before you even get into the finer details.
There is a fun little confidence in the way she presents herself. She uses Watashi and even refers to herself as “Palmer-san,” a self-address that gives her image a slightly cheeky, self-aware sparkle. When it comes to the person guiding her, she keeps it simple and direct with “Trainer.” It is a small detail, but in Uma Musume, those habits of speech often say a lot—and Palmer’s feel neat, distinctive, and easy to remember.
Her day-to-day life also places her in good company. Palmer lives in Ritto Dormitory and shares a room with Katsuragi Ace, who is also listed as her stablemate. She is additionally connected with a varied circle that includes Daitaku Helios, Narita Taishin, Narita Brian, Matikanetannhauser, Tosen Jordan, Gold City, and Katsuragi Ace. The archive data does not define every one of those relationships in detail, but the names around Palmer suggest she sits in a colorful part of the cast rather than fading quietly into the background.
Physically, her profile is crisp and straightforward: 84-57-86 with an even 24.0 cm shoe size on both feet, and a weight note recorded as “slightly down.” Her birthday falls on March 21, and like many Uma Musume profile details, these little stats help round out the public image: polished, specific, and just a bit playful in presentation.
At a glance, Mejiro Palmer reads as a character with personality built into the margins—nicknames that feel affectionate, self-reference with a wink, and a dorm-room setup that hints at strong everyday chemistry with the cast around her. Even without overexplaining her, she gives off the sense of someone easy to pick out in a crowd: bright, distinct, and just a touch theatrical in the best way.

Mejiro Palmer was one of the standout Japanese campaigners of the early 1990s, a bay stallion foaled on 21 March 1987 and bred by Mejiro Stud. A homebred for the Mejiro ownership circle—listed as Mejiro B. in netkeiba, with Wikipedia identifying Mejiro Shouji Co. Ltd.—he was trained at Ritto by Masaaki Okubo.

His pedigree was entirely rooted in that operation’s program: he was by Mejiro Eagle out of Mejiro Fantasy, with the French influence of Gay Mecene as his damsire.
His racing career developed into a notably durable and lucrative one. Across flat and jump racing combined, he made 38 starts for 9 wins, 5 seconds, and 2 thirds, with total earnings of ¥536,742,200; JBIS breaks that down as 36 flat starts and 2 jump starts. That versatility is an unusual footnote in itself, but Mejiro Palmer’s real fame came on the flat, where he rose from useful stakes performer to one of the best older horses in Japan.
The breakthrough phase of his top-level career came in the early 1990s. He won the Sapporo Kinen in 1991, then enjoyed his defining season in 1992 with victories in the Niigata Daishoten, the Takarazuka Kinen, and the Arima Kinen. Those wins established him among the leading horses in the country and powered him to major year-end recognition. The JRA honored him as Best Older Colt or Horse for 1992, and he was also recognized as the best horse by a home-bred sire, a fitting distinction for a Mejiro Stud product.
He remained an important presence the following year, adding the Hanshin Daishoten in 1993. His record and earnings reflect both class and longevity, and the 1992 double of the Takarazuka Kinen and Arima Kinen remains the centerpiece of his historical standing. Ridden in major successes by Taisei Yamada, Mejiro Palmer became one of the emblematic horses of his stable and ownership line during that period.
After retirement, he stood as a stallion. Mejiro Palmer died on 7 April 2012. Even in summary form, his story carries several of the qualities that make Japanese turf history memorable: a powerful in-house pedigree, a long and varied career, top-level success in the sport’s biggest races, and championship honors that confirmed his place among the notable older horses of his era.
