Tsubaki Akeishi (明石椿, あけいしつばき) is a human trainer affiliated with Tracen Academy and a member of Team Alkes in Umamusume: Pretty Derby — Star Blossom. Earnest, internationally trained, and occasionally clumsy, she stands out for embracing Sakura Laurel’s towering ambition as her own professional challenge.
Tsubaki begins as a sub-trainer, having studied training in France. Her experience there gives particular weight to the goal at the heart of her partnership with Laurel: pursuing victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, one of racing’s grandest stages.
That partnership is born from genuine inspiration. Captivated by Sakura Laurel’s running style and ambitions, Tsubaki becomes her trainer and commits herself to helping Laurel reach beyond the ordinary. Their connection is therefore more than a simple assignment—it is the meeting of an athlete’s audacious dream and a trainer willing to build her work around it.
Her personality keeps that grand purpose grounded. Tsubaki is sincere and dedicated, but not flawlessly composed; her occasional clumsiness lends a human touch to an otherwise formidable résumé. She refers to herself with the polite, standard Watashi, fitting her earnest demeanor.

Tsubaki Akeishi (明石椿, Akeishi Tsubaki) is a fictional human trainer in the manga Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Star Blossom. A member of Tracen Academy’s Team Alkes, she becomes Sakura Laurel’s trainer and supports Laurel’s ambition to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
At a glance
Before joining Sakura Laurel as her trainer, Tsubaki studied trainer education in France. That experience gives her an important connection to the international objective at the heart of their partnership: challenging for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, France’s celebrated championship race.
Within Tracen Academy, Tsubaki initially serves as a sub-trainer for Team Alkes. She is characterized as dedicated but clumsy, combining serious commitment to her profession with a less polished personal manner.
Tsubaki’s defining connection in Star Blossom is her relationship with Sakura Laurel. While working as a sub-trainer in Team Alkes, she is inspired by Laurel’s running and ambitions. She subsequently becomes Laurel’s trainer, turning that initial impression into a committed professional partnership.
Their goal extends beyond the Japanese racing program. Sakura Laurel aspires to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, and Tsubaki works alongside her toward that objective. Tsubaki’s previous study in France makes the Arc more than a distant international target within her character story: it links her earlier training education with the central ambition of the athlete she guides.
The partnership also establishes Tsubaki’s narrative role. Rather than competing herself, she contributes through preparation, guidance, and sustained support. Her dedication to Laurel’s development—and to the scale of Laurel’s international ambition—defines her place within Team Alkes and the wider story.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Star Blossom places Tsubaki in the professional world surrounding its racing characters. Her position at Tracen Academy identifies her with the training structure that supports their athletic careers, while Team Alkes provides her immediate working environment.
As Sakura Laurel’s trainer, Tsubaki helps connect Laurel’s racing journey to a broader international horizon. Her France-trained background and the pair’s pursuit of the Arc give their storyline a cross-border dimension, contrasting the daily work of a team trainer with the exceptional scale of their ultimate goal.
Her distinguishing traits reinforce that contrast. Tsubaki is presented as both dedicated and clumsy: earnest in her responsibility to Laurel, even when her personal bearing is not always graceful. Those qualities keep her characterization grounded in the working relationship at the center of her role.
Tsubaki’s importance lies in the way her own professional background intersects with Sakura Laurel’s ambitions. Her progression from Team Alkes sub-trainer to Laurel’s trainer gives her a clear place in the manga’s supporting cast, while the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe provides the partnership with a defining long-term objective.
Through that relationship, she represents the trainer’s side of the racing story: the education, planning, and commitment behind an athlete pursuing an elite international prize. Her identity is therefore inseparable from Team Alkes, her studies in France, and her dedication to helping Sakura Laurel chase the most ambitious goal of their partnership.
