Matikanefukukitaru Factoids
>Name origin:
>Machikane: Clan name; named after Mt. Machikane near present-day Osaka university
>Fukukitaru: Which comes from the phrase 笑う門には福きたる (Warau Kado ni wa fukukitaru/Good luck comes to the doorway of those who smile.)
>His name was collected and chosen from fans’ ideas.
>His official international name is spelled “Matikanefukukitaru”, or else it will exceed the limit of 18 characters for naming a racehorse.
>In Uma Musume's world, the deity she prays to (Shiraoki-sama) is actually the horse’s ancestor back in five generations. Shiraoki is one of Japan’s great mares; Special Week and Vodka also inherited her blood.
>If she wins the Kikkasho, the phrase “And ever since this day, Machikane Fukukitaru became stranger and stranger” appears and she actually becomes even more eccentric as the scenario progresses. Perhaps she got possessed by Shiraoki-sama.
>His IRL Kikka-Sho performance was being praised by fans as “at that moment, he is the strongest horse in the 20th century.”
>Horse Girl Machikane Fukukitaru is quite noisy, but IRL Machikane Fukukitaru is docile and behaved well. He is the idol of his retirement farm.
>He wouldn’t run away even if there’s no fences.
>He also befriended Machikane Tannhauser, both IRL and in-game.
>In a way, Machikane Fukukitaru’s life was the exact opposite of Silence Suzuka. Fukukitaru’s life was rather uneventful, but he was taken good care of after retirement, lived long and passed away peacefully.
>In Fukukitaru’s game scenario, there’s a rather serious talk between her and Silence Suzuka about what true happiness is.
>She mentions an older sister that died before her when she got worried about competing in the Kikka-Sho. This sister was the original Fukukitaru (Athena Tosho’s 1991, who had the same parents), who showed a ton of promise as a racehorse until he abruptly died.
