Biography
"I'll show them! I can win... I know it!"
Cool and matter-of-fact! Her slight frame gives her an unexpected advantage.
A rebellious soul who is sharp as a tack. She was often teased for her small stature, so now she runs to prove her true abilities. Her coarse nature is a by-product of her disdain of being looked down upon. She is good friends with schoolmates Winning Ticket and Biwa Hayahide.[1]

Appearance
Narita Taishin has wavy brown hair that reaches to the back of her neck, styled in a slightly messy way that leaves several strands curling outwards, with a singular bang hanging down between her eyes. Her long ears are the same shade of brown as her hair, and have fluffier sections near the bottom edges. She wears a folded yellow bandana with a dark stripe pattern on her right ear, with a silver-and-blue circular ornament pinned to it. Her sharp eyes are a dark blue that fades to a lighter shade at the bottom.
Her racing outfit prominently features a hot pink bomber jacket with a white fluffy collar, with the collar's ends transitioning into long white tassels. The hot pink, patterned with darker pink zig-zag stripes, is complemented by yellow ribbons and insignias that run up the length of the arms, and has darker sections at the lower front where the jacket's pockets are. She wears a small handful of pin buttons on the right pocket section. Her jacket is worn over a sleeveless yellow top with the same color and pattern as her ear ornament, and is tied off at her left side to expose her midriff. Narita Taishin also wears a dark metallic horseshoe ornament around her neck. A red-checkered flannel long-sleeve shirt is tied around her waist, which goes over her form-fitting jeans (the likes of which have been customized to have the right leg cut short completely, and the left knee stylistically torn to expose her knee). She wears running shoes with matching styles but asymmetric colors, with her right shoe being a dark blue with white accents, and her left shoe being white with black accents. On her right leg, she wears a thin ankle bracelet.

Trivia
- Her initial character profile was uploaded to the official Twitter account on April 20, 2017.
- This tweet was a character name prediction quiz, that encouraged fans to try and guess which horse she's named after. The hint was "She is a petite, but brash and strong-willed Umamusume. Her spectacular last spurt, which many don't anticipate due to her small stature, is referred to as "The Devil's Legs."
- Her jacket has a patch on the left chest that reads '1990,' likely a reference to the birth year of her IRL counterpart.
- Race uniform design notes from Umamusume Pretty Derby Artworks Vol.02:
- Taishin's outdoorsy look is inspired by the pink and purple chevron patterned jockey silks (the chevrons are evocative of mountains).
- The shoulder patch on Taishin's jacket is a stylized kanji character "皐," referencing IRL Taishin's 1993 Satsuki Sho (皐月賞) victory.
- Uneven pant lengths reference the fact that the real horse had markings only on the left leg.
