Japanese racehorse. A highly successful racer who claimed the Satsuki Sho in his classic year before becoming a miler specialist and secured wins at the G1 Yasuda Kinen, Mile Championship (twice in a row) and the Autumn Tenno Sho before retiring at six years old and becoming a highly successful sire.
Notably, Major is the half-brother of Daiwa Scarlet (Umamusume) (theoretically, ¾ brother, as his sire is Scarlet's grandsire), and is often portrayed as an Umamusume despite not having made an official debut; the real-life horse's imposing size is often interpreted as a huge, muscular frame, and Major's notable affection for Vodka (Umamusume) is constantly represented as a point of contention between the siblings.
Another common theme is Major's connection to contemporary Sunday Silence offspring Dance In The Mood (Racehorse) - after placing first ahead of the 2004 Oka Sho winner twice, it is said that Mood became infatuated with Major, and this triggered a resurgence in her career. Their bond would last until the very end of their lives, as Daiwa Major sadly passed away on January 20, 2026, at the age of 25 - exactly one day after Dance in the Mood herself had died.
