   Keys: Uramichi, Uramichi Oniisan, Oniisan, Uramichi Omota

   Uramichi Omota stars as a the exercise/games leader on the educational TV program Together with Maman.

   Age: 31. Date of birth: December 21. Relatives: father, sister, niece. Gender: Male. Height: 175cm (5’9’’). Weight: 130lbs (58kg). Eye Color: Brown. Hair Color: Brown.

   Uramichi is an adult with short brown hair that goes to his eye brows, brown eyes, he most wears a blue polo with dark blue sweat pants and he is muscular due to his former occupation as a professional gymnast.

   Due to the nature of his occupation in a children‘s educational program, Uramichi often portrays himself as bright and cheerful in front of the children, but in reality he is an extremely miserable and depressed individual. His gloomy nature sometimes even bleeds through his cheerful persona, scaring the children in the show in the process. It doesn't help that the children are also extremely honest with him, often asking him questions that reminds him of his bleak life and sending him further on a downward spiral.

   It is also implied that he is an alcoholic, as he can be seen buying cheap sake in huge quantity from grocery stores and downing them almost every night.

   Despite all the negativity in his life, deep down he is actually a caring person towards his co-workers and the children, and while he often grieves over his seemingly dead-end career, interacting with the children is actually among the highlights in his life.

   His hobby is working out and going to the gym, and despite no longer practicing as a gymnast, he still keeps up with his workout routine and even practices with a grip trainer in his dressing room. He also possesses incredible strength as shown by how he can easily break the grip trainer and various other props in the show. This show of strength is usually triggered whenever his co-workers, especially Usahara, annoy him.

   He is a former professional gymnast who graduated from the prestigious Nippon Sport Science University, known for its athletes alumni. Uramichi was also one of the top graduate, winning the National Championship for Solo Gymnastics. It is unknown precisely why he quit being a gymnast, although it is implied that Uramichi might have been forced to go down the route as an athlete by his family as he constantly received training equipments for Christmas gifts when he was a kid. His father also frequently abused him, leaving him and his sister no other choice but to become a gymnast. His sister eventually ran away and he has had almost no contact with his father after graduation.

   Sometimes afterwards he joined the TV network's program Together with Maman, and though he's not particularly happy with his job he also has no strong desire to do anything else. As the tv host he is often subjected to the ridiculous whims of the director, but he never voices out his frustration and instead commits acts of microaggression in his workplace, such as half-assing during a drawing segment of the show.

   Even though he cannot sing he is always forced to join the singing segment of the show as a prop while wearing costumes along with the mascot Usao and Kumao, and for some reason he usually ends up with the most ridiculous costume among all the cast.

   While he tries his best to maintain his cheerful persona in front of the children, he sometimes breaks out of his character during filming and gives out depressing advice to the children, but after a while they seem to get used to it and shower him with pity instead. They also genuinely enjoy playing with him, a fact that gives Uramichi a sliver of joy in his wretched life.

   Uramichi's blood type is AB. Uramichi is a smoker and a heavyweight when it comes to alcohol. Uramichi's favorite food is pickled mackerel. Uramichi does not believe in God. He had a tough upbringing due to his strict father which was also a reason why his sister left home at 16.

   Keys: Iketeru, Daga, Iketeru Daga

   Iketeru loves low-level dirty jokes and he would go into an uncontrollable laughing fit if someone keeps making them. He can be a bit absent-minded and dense sometimes, being unable to read the situation in a room or the time on an analog watch. However, he appears to possess a lot of hidden potentials especially when asked to act out a role, such as displaying a great ping-pong skill while pretending to be a ping-pong champion. He also holds an almost childlike innocence, like being scared of scissors and not being able to read an analog clock, and can be naive and selfless at times. He seems to be very compassionate and thoughtful of his friends and his job.

He also works with Uramichi Omota on the show, often partnering up whenever they have to wear ridiculous costumes to follow the whims of their producer and director. One of his recurring roles is "Jerm Buster", a hero who protects children from germs, with Uramichi playing the opposite of him as "Blight Mite", the villain who attacks human's immune system.

   Iketeru currently lives with his sister who teaches violin in their home during weekdays. She shares the same absent-mindedness as Iketeru, such as day-dreaming about onigiri.

   Iketeru often pairs up with Uramichi, especially when they have to act out roles in special segments of the show. These roles typically come with wearing ridiculous costumes designed by their producer and director. Because Iketeru is slow on the uptake, Uramichi is gentler whenever he interacts with him compared to his other juniors and sometimes shares comforting words to uplift Iketeru’s mood, although Iketeru never understood any of them. However Uramichi is not above teasing him when he finds out Iketeru loves low quality jokes, using every opportunity he can find to say those jokes and hindering Iketeru from doing his job properly.

   In comparison to his co-workers, Usahara is seemingly more cheerful and childish. He makes fun of and criticizes Uramichi for only having one hobby when he has none, talks down on Uramichi (allegedly joking) to the others, and tells the kids to do basically do his bidding. However, most of this is lighthearted and he’s just seems to be poking fun at him. He also is very intimidated by Uramichi, to the point where he’s “unable to look him in the eye while sober.” When Tobikichi gets drunk, he don't stop talking about how he wants to get funnier and better with girls, although he later doesn’t have memory of ever mentioning those things.

He often talks about how scary Uramichi is, but if he sees him while talking about him, he immediately freezes in fear. He still goes to drink with Uramichi and Mitsuo sometimes.

As a result, Uramichi often takes out his stress on Usahara by requesting him to do impossible tasks that he cannot deny during filming of the show. Strangely, despite fearing Uramichi, Usahara always finds reasons to hang out with Uramichi such as inviting himself over during weekends and Christmas day. While Uramichi does not show it openly, he does enjoy Usahara's company and genuinely cares for him.

   Kumatani was on the fast track to a good position twice, and got fired both times due to punching an abusive boss. The anime displays one of these incidents in episode 10. Kumatani's boss, possibly drunk, kicks a box with a cat in it, while his coworkers laugh, with no other choice. Kumatani is silent for a while before he snaps and punches his boss.

   From when he was young, his ideals were that “being lazy and deceptive made you human." His father got very strict with him so he grew up extremely rebellious. He was a delinquent and got into fights fairly often. At some point his brother recommended that he joined the Kyudo club. He believed that being tied down to a sport would help him understand his father's strict rules but it never changed and he always hated that way of thinking.

   As the director of the show, Derekida is possibly Uramichi's primary source of stress in his workplace due to his easy-going nature that leads to him constantly coming up with crazy ideas for the show, typically to the demise of Uramichi. Derekida himself seems to be unaware of the animosity Uramichi holds against him and always praises him for doing a good job on the show. This is because Uramichi himself never firmly voices his complaints against Derekida, often wavering whenever he tries to. When asked by the children why he behaves this way, Uramichi simply states that bending to the wills of their bosses is how adults survive in this world.

   Uramichi met Kikaku when the latter asked for his help in designing a new merchandise for the show. Kikaku is the only person so far whom Uramichi genuinely fears due to his extreme emotional swings. Uramichi occasionally attempts to open up to Kikaku by striking conversations with him, but this has failed so far due to Kikaku's constant fits of anger. That said, Kikaku is actually pretty good-natured towards Uramichi and Uramichi is never on the receiving end of his angry swearings. Their relationship ends up being civilized enough, although Uramichi still fears him on occasions.

   Kikaku dislikes Uebu, as the latter puts items that do not exist yet up for preorder. He verbally derides Uebu, and even goes as far as breaking his glasses. He doesn't understand his love for fictional women, calling them "cartoon women" and saying they all have the same face, something that bothers Uebu.
