おばあさま(ウマ娘) メジロ家のおばあさま メジロおばアサマ
[tn]"Grandmother (Umamusume)", "Mejiro Family Grandmother"[/tn]

Unnamed supporting character from the [[Umamusume]] anime. Head of the Mejiro Family and presumptive grandmother of [[Mejiro McQueen (Umamusume)|]].

The Mejiro matriarch appears as an [[old woman|elderly woman]] with [[wavy hair|wavy]] [[medium hair|medium-length]] [[light purple hair|light purple]] hair (same shade as [[Mejiro McQueen (Umamusume)|McQueen]]'s). She wears a wide-brimmed [[black headwear|black]] [[hat]] and dresses in black clothes with [[long sleeves|long]], flared-out sleeves.

Addressed to as "Grandmother" (obaa-sama) by McQueen.

The Mejiro matriarch shares some resemblance with Kitano Miya, the real-life former owner and chairman of Mejiro Farm (Mejiro Shouji Co Ltd). Mrs. Kitano was also affectionately referred to as "Granny Mejiro" by Japanese horse racing fans.

As [[Mejiro McQueen (Umamusume)|]]'s grandmother is canonically known to have won the Tenno Sho before, the matriarch is widely speculated to be a [[horse girl]] and a composite representation of both Kitano Miya and Mejiro Asama (grandsire to the [[Mejiro McQueen (racehorse)|real-life Mejiro McQueen]] and also former winner of the Tenno Sho). An alternative interpretation holds that the matriarch is human (no horse ears visible and the telephone in her office is sized for humans) and the Tenno Sho winner to be McQueen's [i]other[/i] grandmother.
