Artist Apologizes for Uma Musume Fanart That Violated Terms

Draw fanarts of Uma Musume It’s a tricky task. All of the characters in the series are based on real racehorses, for which the game’s developers had to obtain the necessary permissions. Horse racing is quite popular in Japan, which increases the care taken with the image of these animals.

As the characters are based on real horses, with associated owners and companies, Uma Musume has previously requested that the fans avoid creating provocative fanarts. However, some artists still insist on producing this type of content. One example is the fanart below, which shows two characters in a “tense situation”:

There is an “Uma Musume police” made up of fans who persecute anyone who disrespects the request not to create adult fanart of the characters. These fans even harass illustrators, as happened with the artist Mizin.

Mizin has deleted all of his Uma Musume fanart from his Twitter profile and posted an apology for violating the franchise’s terms of use. Comments suggest that he was harassed for his fanart, which led him to remove his content. Despite this, his Pixiv profile still contains some Uma Musume fanart, which indicates that he may have created R18 content and left only the less provocative art on Pixiv.
