Character from Umamusume.
The fortune-telling horse girl with a really long name (and meant to be read as Machikane Fukukitaru), Matikanefukukitaru is obsessed about fortune and luck and collects a wild range of lucky charms. The other horse girls (and humans at times) often consult her with their luck as well. She often refers to a "Shiraoki-sama" as if they were a shinto deity (and indeed, a horse named Shiraoki is the RL horse's 5th generation mare line ancestor).
Additional notes
Show
- Her name, when read as a whole, roughly means "Good fortune comes to those who wait".
- Her real life counterpart also has the same long name. This is originally intended to be "Machikane Fukukitaru", but later shortened to "Matikanefukukitaru" because of a maximum 18 letter limit on the international rules for racehorse names. Here, Machikane/Matikane is a kanmei and many of the owner's horses have limit-filling names like these. (See Matikane Tannhauser as well.)
