She makes some money selling stolen candy and televisions, but ultimately relies on Chika and eventually Sensei to support her.

Relationships

Sensei

Yumi has a strained relationship with Sensei dating to before his current incarnation. She says that he used to track her down in the arcades and that he constantly gave her detention. She is, however, one of the first to notice his change in personality and is bothered by the inconsistency. She thinks lowly of him due to his relationship with the other students, referring to him as "a fucking creep who spends too much time around teenage girls", and entertains no delusions about his moral fiber.

Chika

Chika is Yumi's best and only real friend. She seems to be the only one who can calm‎‎‏‏‎ ‎Yumi down or get her to cooperate. Yumi seems to genuinely care for Chika and doesn't want her getting used by Sensei. They bond over taking care of Chinami Chosokabe.

Chinami

According to Chika, Chinami is the only one to know "the real Yumi", as she brings out a warm, protective side of her that no one else does. Yumi takes care of her together with Chika; however, she has evidently missed out on babysitting several times in the past despite promising to do it while Chika is working.

Futaba

Yumi constantly belittles Futaba for her weight and goes out of her way to pick on her, causing friction between her and virtually everyone else in the class. She shows little remorse about the fact when confronted by Sensei. It is implied she bullies her because Futaba won't stand up for herself and this bothers Yumi for personal reasons.

Yuki

Yumi holds considerable anger for her mother on account of her neglecting and eventually deserting her as a child, a fact that both of them attribute to Yuki's drug abuse.

Yumi was not aware about her living in Kumon-Mi until accidentally meeting her at Tojo Ramen.
