Osaka is a 2019 born Dutch warmblood by Escolar out of elite preference mare Capri P (by Florencio x Jazz x Ulft). He is bred at Pegasus Stales in Bentelo, The Netherlands.
Licensed
Osaka was licensed at the 2022 KWPN stallion licensing, where Pegasus Stables presented him together with co-owners Joop van Uytert and Bart Blaauwgeers.
He passed the 2022 KWPN Spring Stallion Performance Testing with 82.5 points. He got 7.5 for walk and 8.5 for trot and canter.

Sport Career
Osaka has only been lightly competed in The Netherlands.
Jill Bogers presented him in the stallion show during the KWPN Licensing in Den Bosch in February 2023.
As of December 2023 Chiel van Bedaf began riding the stallion and competed on the Subli young horse circuit. He has shown up to M2 level. The pair rode the 2024 WCYH Dutch team qualifiers but were not picked for the team.
Australia
Osaka has been sold to Australia for Jessica Dertell to ride
"He has arrived in Australia and gets out of quarantine on 23 February," the Dertell family reported. "Osaka is to join Jessica's team which we are all extremely excited about."
Dertell has been competing the KWPN licensed stallion Kilimanjaro and last year campaigned for the Australian Olympic team on Cennin.
