## Bio

### Personality

Kumiko is a young adult pianist and one of the more competitive idols in the agency. She constantly makes an effort to win, even among her unitmates like Ayuna or Chinami. While she is known for her piano skills now, she used to hate it as a child as her mother used to force her to play it growing up. But now, she plays it with passion is grace. She also earnestly has a crush on her Producer, and becomes flustered when she thinks of him or love in general. She is great at darts, but hides her talent due to her awkward stance. On one occasion, she forced herself to take an elegant stance in front of the Producer, which made her lose focus and miss her shot. She also has difficulties thinking of poses on the spot. Having been insppired by her mother's wedding picture since she was a young girl, Kumiko has expressed to the Producer that she wishes to give everyone, especially her loved ones, the greatest version of herself.
