Is Tokai Teio good?
Both Tokai Teio outfits are Pace Chasers who cover Medium and Long. Her original outfit (Peak Joy) is strongest in Medium and needs one Long spark for Long; her skills are plain but fit the style, and she drops into any Medium team.
Her Anime outfit (Beyond the Horizon) has two gold recovery skills (Miraculous Step only in Medium) and a strong final-straight Unique, making her easy to build, though Christmas
Oguri Cap dominates 2000 to 2200m Medium tracks.
Strengths
- Easy Medium Pace Chaser
- Anime version has two gold recoveries
- Strong final-straight Unique
Weaknesses
- Original's Potential skills add little

Profile

Background
Here begins the legend of the invincible Teio!
Tokai Teio (トウカイテイオー, Tōkai Teiō) is a character in the Umamusume franchise, serving as an co-protagonist for the second season of Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Teio is a lively umamusume who highly admires Symboli Rudolf and aims for the Japanese Triple Crown.
In the anime, she initially aims to join Team Rigil and hangs out with Team Spica as a non-member.
After several events with the team, she reconsidered and joined Team Spica instead.
Season 2, which focuses more heavily on Teio, follows the events of her career as she's forced to contend with repeated injuries that impact her ability to race and her dream to follow in the footsteps of her idol, Symboli Rudolf.
Tokai Teio is a character in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
She is a supporting character in Season 1 and Season 3 of the anime, and the co-protagonist of Season 2 alongside Mejiro McQueen.
Appearance
She is a small-sized umamusume with long, amber-brown hair tied in a ponytail and a pink ribbon.
She also has a streak of white hair in her bangs, which is slightly longer.
An amber jewel with two ribbon tails is present on her right ear.
Her eye color is sky blue.
Trivia
Likes: Making friends
Dislikes: Doctors
Secrets
She holds the record for her forward bend.
She played at the seaside a lot when she was a kid, and everyone called her the "Beach Monarch."
She is good at dancing with her "Teio Step." In real life, the Teio Step was a unique trotting gait that Teio used while in the paddock before races.
Her in-game personality is different than in the anime.
In-game Teio is depicted as a spoiled, a bit jealous, and cheeky brat, while her anime counterpart depicted as a more serious character.
Teio sired by Symboli Rudolf in the real life is reflected in Umamusume as Teio's adoration and idolization of the student council president along with the similar white streak of hair.
The IRL parent-foal idolization and/or respect of umamusume would be a common trope, with examples such as Tanino Gimlet with Vodka, Agnes Tachyon with Daiwa Scarlet, Mejiro Ryan with Mejiro Bright, and Stay Gold with Gold Ship and other IRL foals.
Teio's relationship to Rudolf is also reflected in the design of her signature racewear.
Like Rudolf, her racewear incorporates a cravat, a short red cape, and an epaulet on one shoulder.
The only aspect of Rudolf that Teio doesn't appreciate is her penchant for terrible puns.
In March 2016, Cygames originally cast Anju Inami as the voice of Tokai Teio.
Inami performed as Teio in live events to promote Umamusume: Pretty Derby while it was in development, but was replaced by Machico in August 2016 due to scheduling conflicts.
