Appearance
Umiko has dark brown hair, cyan eyes, and tan skin. She grew up in Okinawa, which would explain her much more darker complexion. She is usually seen wearing a variety of different outfits ranging from green, black, and dark red.
Personality
Umiko is the chief of the programming team at Eagle Jump. She is extremely strict when it comes to her work and doesn't hesitate to scold other employees when she sees them slacking on the job. Although she can seem rather harsh and intimidating at times, she does have a soft side. Umiko is actually really nice and will usually feel down about herself if she feels as though she has scared someone into hating her, such as Suzukaze Aoba. Whenever Umiko gets friendly, however, she'll tend to get carried away in talking about her hobbies, which can make people feel uncomfortable at times.
Umiko happens to be a huge military fan and appears to be quite knowledgeable on things like guns and just about anything pertaining to military equipment. When she's not at work programming, she enjoys playing airsoft - a hobby that she likes to converse with Aoba about (even though she expresses little interest). In her office, she also has an extensive collection of rifles that line the walls, all of which are not real.
For reasons unknown, Umiko hates it when people call her by her last name, Ahagon. She is known to have quite a short temper, but when people call her "Ahagon," that's usually enough to really irritate her - or shoot them with an airsoft pistol.
Relationship
Yagami Kou
Kou is Umiko's co-worker who always calls her by her surname which always results from her shooting the former. They are close enough to engage in a drinking contest and a duel.

Hazuki Shizuku
Shizuku is Umiko's superior who annoys her to extent that she shoot Shizuku when the latter nonchalantly changes the game's specs, not caring that the Shizuku is the Director. Umiko often search for Shizuku when she needed something and the latter is not on her office.

After Nene's part time beta testing is finish, she and Umiko still talk and meet up with each other. Umiko mentors Nene on programming when the latter takes interest in it.
Takimoto Hifumi
