Yumi Hisame more commonly known as Yumi is a character of Senran Kagura, she is one of the main characters of Senran Kagura: The Black Swordsman series.

She is the Granddaughter of Kurokage and Yume, the adoptive sister of Fubuki and the former leader of Gessen Academy during her time as a Shinobi.

She appear in Senran Kagura: The Black Swordsman as one of the main characters where she sacrifice herself by fighting The Reaper during the course of the Shinobi Great War and eventually find death at his hands, an action that drove Miyabi into insanity.

She was later revive and put into a mind control by The Reaper himself, returning as one of the antagonists in the sequel, Senran Kagura: Passing on the Legends

After the Second Shinobi Great War, Yumi decide to retire as Shinobi and move on with Miyabi at Academy City where she become a Teacher at A Certain High School.

## Appareance

Yumi is a girl with medium length gray hair and icy blue eyes. She wears a solid white furisode kimono that exposes her shoulders and cleavage, and long detached sleeves. The outfit has a blue double-lined trim, and she wears a large white bow on her head.

Under her Ice Queen form, her appareance change to those of a beautiful woman, in this form she loses her hair tie and allowing her hair to become longer in length in addition to becoming an icy-blue color and her eyes becoming red in hue.

## Personality

As her name implies, Yumi has a very cool personality. She is a very calm and very serious girl. She gives nothing but one hundred percent when it comes to achieving a personal ambition and will go to any lengths to realize a goal she has set out for herself. For these reasons she could be viewed as stubborn when people present their own personal ideals and values in conflict with her own.

Though despite this, she has no issues stepping back and admitting when she's wrong after some serious thought. This was demonstrated during the Gessen Arc of *Shinovi Versus* when Yumi, who was deeply conflicted about her views on evil over the course of the story, finally accepting that she was wrong by the time of her final battle with Asuka. This was demonstrated a second time the Estival Versus OVA when she began to realize that she was actually being far too strict on her comrades and promised to give them more time to relax.

Yumi could also be considered extremely critical, as demonstrated during Hanzō Academy's story in Shinovi Versus where she deemed Asuka unworthy of facing her and made her fight Gessen's lower ranked shinobi as an alternative. This was due to Asuka presenting what she believed to be incompetence as a shinobi. Despite this, Yumi has also been shown to be modest, such as when she deemed Yozakura far stronger than her despite Yozakura insisting otherwise.

While being very harsh at times, she's also very caring underneath her cold exterior. Even Shiki states that Yumi is only hard on her comrades because she genuinely cares about them and wants the most out of each of them. This often leads to her trying to push them too hard and forgetting to allow both them and herself to relax every once and while. In Estival Versus, Yumi tries to be more lenient and considerate of her comrades' feelings, leaving Yozakura to discipline and yell at the others in her place when things get out of hand.

She can also show remorses for her actions, as when she went to fight The Reaper alone fully knowing the risks of getting killed and when after being freed from The Reaper's mind control, she was shamed of all the atrocities she caused to her friends.
