Personality

Her personality is pompous. Due to her popularity, she is held in highest hierarchy. Hence, she has no trouble making friends and also has little to no understanding towards people who have social troubles. Yumiko doesn't show interest, or mind anyone other than higher hierarchy of the class, which is noted by Hachiman by her attitude towards him. She holds herself in a very high esteem, and is not afraid to use her authority.

Yumiko's glare

Most of males in her class sees her as a scary being. Hachiman once commented that her glare resembles an anaconda. It may be seen sometimes as if she forces her ideas onto the people whom she calls her friends. She doesn't like the idea of being opposed, turned down, or getting an answer not what she expects; this is shown during tennis court showdown, where Yumiko wanted to play tennis and doesn't heed to the words of Totuska, who got prior permission to use the court during lunch time.

Yumiko opinion of marriage

She feels that cooking and cleaning is old fashioned. In the light novel, she avoided cooking in summer camp in order to protect her nails from damage.Despite of the fact, she tried her best to make chocolates for Hayato.




It was mentioned by Yukino that Yumiko wears expensive makeup. Yui also pointed out that her cosmetics and dresses are of high cost. She uses cuteness as crucial criteria in choosing friends with whom she hangs out with. She brushes off anything she doesn't understand as "making no sense".

She states her opinion on matters, and consider herself a genius for that. She forces her ideas on to others without concern for the individual, until Yukino pointed out Yumiko's flaws in her character: Yumiko imposes her one-sided opinion on others. From then on, Yumiko shows signs of change in her attitude.

Yumiko threatens with her tone of who tries to dump the resposibility on yui

When the responsibility of class representation for cultural festival committee was focused on Yui, Yumiko raised her strong tone against the class officer and sardonic laughter of Sagami Minami's clique, explaining the requirement of Yui to attract costumers. Thus, her old habits of jumping the gun and imposing her ideas on to her friends without her intention to do so came back, for which she appologised to Yui but was completly smoothened by Hina in a sarcastic way which Yumiko couldn't comprehend  Later, she helped the committee under the personal request of Hayama to stall time in order to find the chairperson of the committee, Sagami Minami.

She explained the consequence that will affect her clique's relationship, thus surprising Hachiman about her considerations. This conversation also made Hachiman realize the meaning of the personal request of Hina. At time of confession, Miura wasn’t present.
