Twin Turbo
Twin Turbo, or Tsuin Taabo (ツインターボ), arrives in Umamusume: Pretty Derby like a burst of color and velocity: a Junior Division runner with the gloriously fitting epithet “A Full-Throttle Getaway Girl.” Small at 146 cm but impossible to ignore, she carries the kind of presence that makes her feel less like a quiet student and more like a warning light suddenly flashing at full brightness. Even her official details have a touch of comic excess—her weight is simply listed as “Impossible to measure.”
She calls herself Turbo or Ta-chan, a pair of self-pronouns that suit her bright, energetic image perfectly, and she addresses the person guiding her with the straightforward “Trainer.” Her look is tied to vivid blue and green image colors, and her solo song, ▷▷▷▶︎Buttobi Kattobi Zenkai Engine!, only reinforces the sense that everything about her is built for acceleration. Voiced by Miharu Hanai, Twin Turbo’s appeal lies in how unabashedly she throws herself forward: loud in concept, lively in presentation, and impossible to mistake for anyone else.
In daily life, she lives in Miho Dorm, where her roommate is Inari One—also noted as her stablemate. That alone gives her profile an entertaining contrast: Twin Turbo’s headlong intensity set alongside one of the names closest to her in the dorm. Her wider character circle includes Nice Nature, Matikanetannhauser, Ikuno Dictus, Aston Machan, Sounds Of Earth, and Royce and Royce, while Tokai Teio stands out as her named rival. Research notes also describe Tokai Teio as both a friend and rival, which gives that connection a particularly lively edge without needing to overstate it.
There are also a few relationship notes that help sharpen her public image. She is recorded as getting along well with Katsuragi Ace, especially because of their similarly high-energy temperament and runaway style, and she is associated with Team Canopus in anime-only Season 3 material alongside Sounds of Earth and Royce and Royce. None of that changes the central impression, though: Twin Turbo is memorable because she feels like motion made personal—compact, dramatic, and always pushing at the limits of stillness.

Twin Turbo was a bay Japanese Thoroughbred stallion foaled on 13 April 1988, bred by Toshihiro Fukuoka and campaigned in the colors of Haruo Kuroiwa. Trained by Takehisa Sasakura at Miho, he raced in the early 1990s and built a reputation that has outlived his official record. By Lyra Ridge out of Racing Jean, with Wordys as his damsire, he came from a pedigree rooted in domestic Japanese racing, and later stood as a stud horse after retirement.

On paper, Twin Turbo compiled a record of 34 starts for 6 wins, 2 seconds, and total earnings of ¥186,707,600. In practice, he became especially memorable for the bold, all-or-nothing way he raced. Archive descriptors consistently remember him as a front-runner and a fan favorite, with a temperamental edge that only added to his notoriety. That style helped make him one of the more vividly remembered horses of his era, even beyond the raw totals.
His best season came in 1993. That year he won the Tanabata Sho and the Sankei Sho All Comers, the latter a graded success recorded as a G3. Research tied to his racing coverage also notes him at the 1993 Tanabata Sho, underscoring how closely that race is associated with his public image. Some story-style sources also credit him with a 1991 Radio Tampa Sho victory, though the strongest cross-confirmed major wins in the supplied research are his 1993 successes.
Twin Turbo’s historical place rests not only on those wins, but on how distinctly he is remembered. He is one of those racehorses whose identity is inseparable from his racing character: a committed pace-setter, exciting to follow, and memorable enough to remain part of Japanese racing conversation years later. In more recent fandom, that afterlife has been strengthened by his connection to the Uma Musume franchise, where he is treated as one of the notable real-life inspirations behind the series’ characters.
After his racing days, Twin Turbo retired to stud. His life was relatively short; he died on 15 January 1998. Even so, his legacy remains larger than his statistics alone might suggest: a horse remembered for fearless front-running, a standout 1993 campaign, and the enduring affection he inspired among racing fans.
