Air Shakur (Japanese: エアシャカール, February 26, 1997 – March 13, 2003) was a Japanese racehorse and sire. He won the 2000 Satsuki Shō and Kikuka Shō, achieving two of the Triple Crown wins and was selected as the JRA Award for Best three-Year-Old Colt that year. In the Tokyo Yūshun (Japanese Derby), he narrowly missed winning by a nose of 7 cm, earning him the title of "quasi-Triple Crown winner." After becoming an older horse in 2001, he struggled to win races and was retired after finishing ninth in the 2002 Arima Kinen. Air Deja Vu, who finished second in the 1998 Yushun Himba (Oaks), is his half-sister, and Air Messiah, who won the 2005 Shuka Sho, is his niece. The origin of the horse's name comes from the prefix 'Air' and the real name of the American hip-hop MC and actor Tupac Shakur.
