Move over, Skyrim grandma, because Japan's "legendary horse grandpa" with "40 years of horse racing experience" got a whole new fandom thanks to Umamusume: "This game is at a high level"

YouTuber Matchan tries to identify an Umamusume character.

Depending on how you count birthdays, video games as a medium are probably younger than your grandparents, and people like Shirly "Skyrim Grandma" Curry have proven just how much gamers love seeing folks from older generations enjoying their favorite hobby. The same appeal applies to Japanese YouTuber Matchan, a veteran of horse racing who's gaining global fame thanks to his videos on Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

Matchan's YouTube channel is largely a pretty unassuming vlog with most videos sitting at a few hundred views. But there's one big exception: a video with 4.5 million views titled "[umamusume] Can an old man with 40 years of horse racing experience guess the horses' names?" Presented with a series of printed images of the Umamusume cast, Matchan tries to guess their real-life race horse counterparts.
