Biography

Actions speak louder than words! A tough and stubborn lone wolf.

A lone wolf of few words and ample strength, Narita Brian is feared throughout the academy due to both her personality and her performance on the turf.

She herself has little interest in anything besides running, which she does only to quench her own endless thirst.

Off the racecourse, she is Biwa Hayahide's little sister and, for some reason, a student council vice president.

Umayon Manga Introduction

A Strait-Laced, Stubborn Lone Wolf. . . .

And Such A Girl's Favorite Thing Is Her Stuffed Animals.

Narita Brian has long, dark gray hair with a purple tint, styled into a ponytail, cut bluntly at the end, tied in an orange and white rope.

She has two long strands of hair growing past her chest, and her bangs appear to be windswept.

She wears a white and baby blue rope accessory on her right ear, and a simple white bandage on her nose.

Her sharp and determined eyes are yellow.

She can often be seen with a green beanstalk in her mouth.

As for her racing outfit, her chest is wrapped in bandages, layered under a cream-colored top, with a magenta collar.

The top and bottom of this crop-top is decorated by orange and white ropes, and a yellow star is attached to the left side of her chest.

She wears a black pleated skirt with pink and white plaid, held up by a dark brown belt with silver trim.

Atop of this ensemble is a long white jacket with a purple tint.

It appears torn at the ends. Around the jacket's tall collar is a white shadow-roll, with orange epaulets on either side, decorated with the same orange and white rope.

The cuffs of the jacket are magenta with an orange trim on the outside.

She wears metal cuffs around either wrist, and magenta and black fingerless gloves.

On her right leg, she wears more bandaging, decorated with orange and white rope.

Her striking asymmetrical leg-wear sticks out among all else.

On her left leg, she wears a dark gray thigh-high boot, with a giant metal cuff, and a giant dark gray horse shoe emblem in the center, decorated with brown belts.

On her right leg is a simple, dark gray, short boot, with magenta flaps and brown trimming.

Around both of her ankles are ginormous metal horseshoes, decorated with bolts.

The toes of her boots are also pure metal, with short matching metal heels.

Biwa Hayahide - Older sister. Despite her taciturn nature, Brian cares and respects Hayahide greatly, and looks forward to racing her, though can be irritated by her older sister's inquisitiveness.

In real life, the two of them are actual half brothers from the same mother, and were planned to race against each other in the Arima Kinen before Hayahide retired due to tendinitis during the Tenno Sho Autumn, leaving the showdown forever unrealized.

Tanino Gimlet - Roommate.

No Reason - Friend and underclassman. Despite No Reason's eccentric personality clashing with hers, Narita Brian sees the strength in her.

When Brian watched No Reason win the Satsuki Sho, it reminded her of her own Satsuki Sho win back then.

Mayano Top Gun - Rival. Mayano views her as twinkly, and wants to beat her.

While Brian finds her annoying, deep down she is interested in Mayano's strength.

Mayano also likes to bug Brian from time to time in daily life, as she pesters her to admit that her wedding racewear is cute.

IRL, the two raced against each other three times: 1995 Arima Kinen, 1996 Hanshin Daishoten, and 1996 Tenno Sho Spring.

IRL, Narita Brian, No Reason, Tanino Gimlet and Mayano Top Gun were all sired by Brian's Time.

Hishi Amazon - Friend and rival. Teammates on the anime-only team, Team Rigil, often being used as the team's Goal post.

Narita Taishin, Mejiro Palmer - Teammates on the manga-only team, Team Hadar.

Samson Big - Friend and rival. Big loves to hang out with Brian, and calls her "Buu-chan".

Though their personalities clash, Brian gets along well with Big, and is fine with her company.

In Star Blossom, they are shown to hang out together, as well as in the game.

Brian also helps Big play the guitar in Big's R card story.

IRL, they were rivals in the 1994 generation.

While Narita Brian won the Triple Crown, Samson Big placed low in all three races, which earned him the nickname "Reverse Triple Crown Winner".

Narita Brian and Samson Big's friendship is also likely based on the manga Umanari, where they are shown to be best friends.

Phalaenopsis - Childhood friend and cousin.

Phalaeno looks up to Narita Brian. Though Brian acts cold towards Phalaeno, she cares about her, and watches her race.

Brian also likes the ohagi Phalaeno makes.

In real life, Phalaenopsis' dam, Catequil, was the half-sibling of the dam of Narita Brian and Biwa Hayahide, Pacificus.
