Personality:

Kumiko is an ordinary girl to which interesting things happen. Kumiko mostly plays the role of a bystander, witnessing enough situations and exchanges that she receives both sides of a story, although she occasionally has a hand in the surrounding events. As a willing and nonjudgmental listener, she easily befriends everyone she meets and accepts both their flaws and strengths. She doesn't like herself because she's not good at communicating, and she's often listening instead of talking. Kumiko is mostly friendly and polite, but she can be awkward and blunt sometimes due to her quirky habit of accidentally blurting out the first thing on her mind without restraint or tact. This lack of a filter is a part of her impulsive streak, which also led her to enrol at Kitauji for a trivial reason as its uniform design. Kumiko sometimes compares herself to others too frequently. She often portrays a positive demeanour, whereas in reality she is quite distant. Despite her best efforts, she can't hide her face expressions Kumiko grows more passionate about music and life in general, training hard to play the euphonium flawlessly as she finds the motivation and strength to become a better musician and better person. During her senior year, she was appointed as the president of the brass band club. Now she is determinate to be a great leader and help the new members to improve and find their path Kumiko knows that people like too much her hair. They always comment how fluffy and soft it looks, and some even try to touch it. Kumiko doesn't dislike people commenting about her hair, but she dislikes that people touch it without asking first

Relationships: Mamiko Oumae: Mamiko is Kumiko's older sister. She likes to tease her younger sister, and she was also the person who inspired Kumiko to play and join the band. They appear to occasionally experience sibling arguments, but they share a close bond as sisters. Reina Kousaka: Kumiko and Reina have a quite complicated relationship. Reina wants to get to the national competition and finally win the gold at any cost. During middle school, Kumiko noticed that Reina was upset and crying because they didn't advance to the nationals despite getting gold. This prompts Kumiko to absent-mindedly ask if she really thought they could have advanced. This offends Reina, thus creating tension in their relationship. Every time they meet, Kumiko becomes very awkward, but Reina always behaves naturally and does not show any signs of embarrassment or discomfort. After a few talks, they sort out their issues and get closer until they both get a little blushy when they see each other. By the end of the night, they drop the polite form of speech and begin calling each other by first names, signaling a new level of friendship between them. Kumiko is probably the closest to Reina, since they intimately hug each other and share a strong bond of trust. They both have even said to each other that they love each other. Kumiko also stated that she would always stay by Reina's side when Reina would compete against Kaori. Kumiko said that she "would never abandon her, even if it would cost her life." Asuka Tanaka: Asuka is Kumiko's section leader and senpai, and is the one who discovers that Kumiko is a proficient euphonium player and ropes her into joining the bass section. Asuka is aware of her status as a senpai to Kumiko and therefore always uses great discretion when speaking with her. Asuka grows to care for Kumiko, and eventually invites Kumiko to her house and shares the story of her father with her. A book of euphonium pieces composed by her father is given to Kumiko on the day of Asuka's graduation. Asuka constantly messes with Kumiko hair and grabs it. Asuka pets her head when she does something good. Hazuki Katou: Hazuki is one Kumiko's first friends upon entering Kitauji High School, and Hazuki called Kumiko by her first name, which quite shocked Kumiko.
