Umamusume takes over MotoGP with massive 500-foot display and Oguri Cap voice actor

Umamusume is taking over the 2026 MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix with a giant horse girl display and a special appearance from Oguri Cap’s voice actor.

The anime racing franchise has been named an official event partner for this year’s Japanese Grand Prix, which will be held at Mobility Resort Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture from October 2 to October 4, 2026.

To mark the collaboration, a gigantic display featuring eight characters will stretch approximately 508 feet (155 meters) along the circuit, while Oguri Cap’s voice actor will wave the checkered flag for two races.

So, which Umas will be appearing on the massive banner? Vodka, Daiwa Scarlet, Oguri Cap, Tamamo Cross, Jungle Pocket, Agnes Tachyon, Almond Eye, and Lucky Lilac have received the winning spot.

At around 16 feet tall and 508 feet wide, the display will cover a wall near the Green Campsite and Turn 4 of Motegi’s former oval course, where it will remain until November 8, 2026.

Fans will also find another Umamusume installation at the grandstand entrance, alongside a four-sided photo spot in the Central Entrance lawn area. However, the latter will only be available during the race weekend and feature special artwork created for the event.

Oguri Cap fans attending the event will also get to see her voice actor, Tomoyo Takayanagi, who will be making a special guest appearance on October 4. Takayanagi will be waving the checkered flag at the end of both the Moto3 and Moto2 races.

This isn’t the first time Umamusume has been involved in a professional racing event, as they previously collaborated with Pacific Racing Team, a long-running competitor in Japan’s top-tier Super GT series.
