Umamusume: Pretty Derby Character Introductions Begin With Special Week

There’s new activity on the Umamusume: Pretty Derby social media account, and we’re starting to see character profiles appear for horse girls like Special Week. This new post tied to the mobile game could be a sign that the launch is drawing nearer, as the previous ones involved the console and PC game Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash and its DLC. 

Special Week is considered one of the main characters in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. She featured prominently as one of the possible party members in Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash, as she is one of the most vocal members of Team Cosmos. She also is one of the stars of the anime, which is streaming on Crunchyroll. 

The new profile for her brings up her history and background. Compared to some of the other horse girls studying at Tracen, Special Week comes from a more rural background. She grew up in the country with her mother’s friend following her mom’s death. She’s known for her enthusiasm and dedication to people important to her, in particular Silence Suzuka. 

Here’s the official Umamusume: Pretty Derby Special Week character profile:

Special Week may sound familiar, as she’s voiced by Azumi Waki. Waki voiced characters in a number of other mobile games, such as Charlotte in Genshin Impact, Peony in Fire Emblem Heroes, and Sanae in The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls. Most recently, she’s been in anime series like Frieren as Kanne and Too Many Losing Heroines as Karen.

There’s no English, worldwide release date yet for Umamusume: Pretty Derby, though it was reconfirmed in June 2024, and it is available in Japan.
