Conversely, he detests luscious desserts and sports, having only attended boxing once. His representative flower is the Flamming Flower. In his professional and personal life, Umeda serves as a confidant to Ashiya Mizuki, knowing her true gender and offering her advice in a manner reminiscent of an older brother or uncle. He is openly gay and is deeply in love with an old friend who appears in another of Hisaya Nakajo’s stories. His family connections include being the uncle of Minami Nanba and the brother of Nanba Io, who is Minami’s mother, as well as Umeda Rio. Umeda possesses a volatile temper and a violent streak that instills fear in others. The reporter Karuma, who relentlessly hounds Sano, is terrified of him. Umeda casually explains that he choked Karuma simply because she was freaked out and wouldn’t stop talking while he was in a bad mood. He has a habit of kicking people in the head and insulting them by calling them stupid.
