Description:

Haunted by a tragedy that ruined his career, a washed-up trainer mentors a team of misfit horse girls—fighting to give them the future he lost while the system that destroyed him waits for him to fail again.

Notes:

Uma Musume: Namesake does not follow any official Umamusume canon storyline. This is an original narrative set within the Umamusume universe.

Katsuaki Itonaga is a washed-up horse girl trainer living in self-imposed exile after a tragedy ended his career decades ago. Stuck somewhere between the eighties and denial, he's dragged back into the sport he abandoned when his former partner forces him to mentor a team of misfits facing disbandment. Armed with outdated slang, old-school training methods, and a flip phone he refuses to upgrade, Itonaga must confront the ghosts of his past while keeping his new team alive.
