UMAbred, a character goods brand that depicts real racehorses and retired horses as soft, squishy "UMA" characters, is holding its first-ever popup event in the Nagoya area. The popup will take place at the Nagoya Central Park Event Space from March 20 (Fri/Holiday) to March 29 (Sun), 2026.
Event Overview
The event will feature a selection of items previously sold at UMAbred popup events in 2025. In addition, merchandise for Meikei Yell, one of the most celebrated racehorses associated with Nagoya, will be available in limited quantities at the venue.
Sodashi — Meikei Yell's fellow generation member and a popular idol horse known as the "pure white idol horse" — will also make an early appearance at this event, ahead of a separate popup planned for May.
Please note that Meikei Yell merchandise will be available in limited quantities at the venue. For those who want to ensure they get a copy, a secondary order sale via the UMAbred online store will also begin on March 20.
