Seeking the Pearl
Seeking the Pearl — Shīkingu za Pāru (シーキングザパール) — carries herself with the kind of polished confidence that makes a simple nickname like Pearl feel fitting. A Senior Division Uma Musume from Ritto Dormitory, she stands at 168 cm, with a profile that reads as striking even before her personality enters the room. Then it does, and the details become much more fun: her listed weight is the gloriously self-assured “Perfect on a global scale.”
That same bold flair shows up in the way she refers to herself. Alongside the straightforward watashi, she also uses “Kono Pearl-Neesan,” a self-introduction with a wink of big-sister grandeur. It gives her presence a slightly theatrical edge: not just confident, but confidently aware of how memorable she is. When it comes to her coach, she keeps it simple with “Trainer,” a clean, direct address that suits someone who seems to prefer making her impression through sheer presence.
In the everyday rhythm of campus life, Seeking the Pearl is noted as Kawakami Princess’s roommate and stablemate, placing her close to one of the setting’s more recognizable names. Her broader character connections include Stay Gold, Mejiro Dober, Mejiro Bright, El Condor Pasa, and Taiki Shuttle, while Mejiro Dober, Mejiro Bright, and Taiki Shuttle are specifically listed among her rivals. Even without extra commentary, that lineup gives her a competitive orbit with real weight to it.
Her presentation details round out the picture neatly. She was born on April 16, wears a 24.5 cm shoe, and her recorded measurements are 91-57-87. She is voiced by Ayaka Fukuhara, whose credit helps anchor the character’s identity for fans following performances as much as profiles. There are many Uma Musume whose charm lies in warmth or eccentricity; Seeking the Pearl’s available details instead point first toward composure, style, and a very deliberate sense of self.

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.

Seeking the Pearl was a bay Japanese mare of the 1990s, foaled on 16 April 1994 and campaigned for owner Masako Uenaka. Trained from Ritto by Hideyuki Mori, she built her reputation around top-class form at a mile, the distance that defined her career. Her record was highlighted by victory in the 1997 NHK Mile Cup, a Group 1 success that secured her place among the notable milers of her generation.

Registered nameSeeking the Pearl
She was bred by Lazy Lane Stables Inc. and carried an international pedigree. Seeking the Pearl was by Seeking the Gold, out of Page Proof, a daughter of Seattle Slew. That made her a mare with deep American bloodlines on both sides, and her pedigree matched the quality she later showed on the track. The family also included siblings Brightest Page and Proof of Love.
In racing terms, the NHK Mile Cup stands as the clear centerpiece of her story. Winning a Japanese Group 1 at a mile marked her out as a specialist at that trip, and it remains the achievement most closely associated with her name. Across her JRA career she amassed earnings of ¥474.14 million, a substantial total that reflects both durability and consistent high-level performance.
Seeking the Pearl raced in the colors of Masako Uenaka throughout the evidence-supported record, with Mori remaining the trainer attached to her profile. That continuity gives her career a neat, stable outline: a well-bred mare, developed by one yard, who rose to capture one of Japan’s important mile prizes. The available record does not need embellishment; a Group 1-winning mare with that level of earnings already speaks for itself.
She is now listed as retired. Even in concise archive form, Seeking the Pearl stands out as a high-class racemare whose pedigree, connections, and NHK Mile Cup triumph combine to make her an enduring part of Japan’s late-1990s racing picture.
