STUD RECORD
Kizuna entered stud in Japan in 2016. Kizuna was crowned Japanese Champion Freshman Sire in 2019.
In 2024, Kizuna topped both of the Japanese Leading Sire and the Japanese Two-Year-Old Sire lists in the same season following his sire Deep Impact and his grandsire Sunday Silence, with his progeny winning a career-high 15 graded stakes. This three-generation feat was unprecedented in Japanese racing history. His most successful progeny in 2024 was Justin Milano, who became the first classic winner for his sire Kizuna when landing the Grade 1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas), the first leg of the Japanese Triple Crown, in a course record time of 1:57.1 for 2000 meters on turf at Nakayama.
Kizuna was ranked first on the Japanese Leading Sire list in 2024.
Kizuna was ranked first on the Japanese Leading Two-Year-Old Sire list in 2024.
