## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Officer_Numata&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Yumi and Numata.
Numata is a police officer working for Tokyo Metropolitan Police District's Traffic Department. She is very friendly with [Naeko](/wiki/Naeko_Miike "Naeko Miike"), so much so that she often pushes her to take initiatives in her love story with [Chiba](/wiki/Kazunobu_Chiba "Kazunobu Chiba"). She entered police forces at the same time as her superior [Yumi](/wiki/Yumi_Miyamoto "Yumi Miyamoto") and is in charge of Beika Town. She owns a license to drive the mini patrol car although she doesn't drive it, preferring to let her more experienced friend Yumi drive.
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Officer_Numata&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
She is rather open to her co-workers and friends' speeches and doesn't reply unless she has to. She also encourages her friends to take initiatives since she herself doesn't have a boyfriend.
