Kawakami Princess is a rowdy, muscle-brained Umamusume who dreams of becoming a noble “fighting princess” worthy of her name. A huge fan of the shoujo anime PriFight and its heroine Shiny Princess, she trains under King Halo to balance brute strength with elegance, charging onto the track with long chestnut hair tied in a ribbon bow and a tiny crown-like accessory by her ear. In this guide, we’ll cover how to build her as a Medium/Mile Late Surger so she can back up that princess spirit with real results on the track.

Kawakami Princess (Princess of Pink) is a medium-distance racer built as a Late Surger, with enough flexibility to run on Mile distance if given the proper Mile parents. Her kit revolves around explosive final-straight acceleration, with multiple Medium/Late Surger speed/velocity buffs like No Stopping Me! and Rising Dragon. Given her tons of speed buffs, she can easily swing wide from the pack, punch through traffic, and steal victories right at most scenarios.

Ideal Stats, Support Cards, and Deck Build
| Mile Distance Recommended Stats | |||||
| Late Surger | 1200 | 600 | 1000+ | 350 | 600 |
| Medium Distance Recommended Stats | |||||
| Late Surger | 1200 | 800 | 700 | 350 | 500 |
For Kawakami Princess, you want 1200 Speed as a baseline for both Mile and Medium. In Mile Late Surger builds, lean into high Power (around 1000+) and solid Wit so she can push through traffic in the final straight while keeping her Stamina around the 600 mark. For Medium Late Surger builds, shift some of that Power into higher Stamina (around 800) so she doesn’t gas out before her unique and Rising Dragon kick in, while keeping Wit and Guts just high enough to stabilize her race line and late-game skill timing.
Recommended Support Cards
| Support Cards List | |||||
Support Deck Build
- 3 Speed / 2 Power / 1 Pal or 1 Wit (Mile)
- 3 Speed / 2 Stamina / 1 Pal (Medium)

Training Strategy
Kawakami Princess wants to hit her Speed recommended stat first, then train Power and Stamina depending on the chosen race distance(Mile/Medium). In the early years, focus on training where your Speed and Power supports are gathered to quickly stack friendship bonuses, picking up Stamina when it appears with multiple supports or when you’re clearly behind on your Medium target. Avoid wasting time on Guts facility, and only touch Wit when there are good overlaps, or you need to cycle energy and loop training.
From mid-year onward, start aiming directly for your target stat lines: Mile builds aim for around 1200 Speed, 600 Stamina, and 1000+ Power; Medium builds push Stamina toward 800 while keeping Speed capped and Power respectable. In the final years, prioritize high-value Speed and Power facilities, train in Stamina for Medium if you’re still short, and enter races that match her best aptitudes. Spend your skill points on at least one reliable recovery skill for Medium plus her key Medium/Late Surger tools like No Stopping Me! and Rising Dragon, so she can easily do her job as a late surger.
Should You Pull for Kawakami Princess (Princess in Pink)?
Kawakami Princess (Princess of Pink) is a Turf Medium specialist built as a pure Late Surger, with enough flexibility to handle Mile if you invest in her skills and factors. She shines when you lean fully into Medium/Late Surger speed buffs like No Stopping Me! and Rising Dragon, letting her swing out from the pack and explode on the final straight. If you like back-half runners who gamble everything on a huge last charge rather than front-half control, she’s a fun pick to raise and field in Medium-focused content.
Pros
Naturally strong as a Medium Late Surger, with good kit synergy
Can also handle Mile with the right parents
Access to key acceleration skills like No Stopping Me! and Rising Dragon
Guts/Power growth helps her hit hard once she finally accelerates
Cons
Unique skill has awkward activation conditions and isn’t fully reliable
Needs potentials (ideally 3–5) to feel truly strong
Limited distance flexibility outside Medium/Mile
Wants good Speed/Power/Wit supports to comfortably reach her recommended stat lines
Conclusion
Kawakami Princess’s story is all about a rough, muscle-brained tomboy who still wants to become a noble “fighting princess.” Her love for PriFight, admiration for King Halo, and daily training to balance brute strength with elegance all feed into that theme of chasing a cooler, more graceful version of herself.
