Namihei Uchiumi

**Namihei Uchiumi** (内海 (うつみ) 波平 (なみひら) , *Utsumi Namihira*?)

### **Description**

Namihei Uchiumi, known as the pro-hero Tidal Wave, has traversed a tumultuous path in his quest for love, family, and personal growth. He was once married to Sayo Kaji, the pro-hero Sandstorm, and together they had three children: Azusa, Umi, and Karen.

Namihei's journey into fatherhood began at a young age when he became a father to Azusa at eighteen. It was a complex situation as Sayo had purposely manipulated him into marriage, citing "honour" as the driving force. Initially, Namihei felt a genuine affection for Sayo, molded by her calculated grooming. However, as time went on, he grew weary of their relationship, sensing the toxic undercurrents that flowed beneath the surface.

Being married to Sayo also meant that Namihei assumed the role of stepfather to Benjiro and Yumeki Sasaki, Sayo's children from a previous relationship. It was within the confines of their shared household that Namihei witnessed Sayo's abusive treatment of Benjiro and her neglect of Yumeki and Umi. He tried his best to intervene and provide solace to Benjiro while being a source of love and support for Yumeki and Umi. Umi, in particular, possessed the same quirk as Namihei's, and Sayo's dismissal of her due to this quirk created a rift between mother and child.

Nemu Sasaki, the biological father of Benjiro and Yumeki, eventually confronted Sayo about her harsh training methods and abusive behaviour. He threatened to expose the Hero Public Safety Commission's decision to allow Benjiro to become a hero, shedding light on Sayo's questionable actions, unless the commission intervened and removed Benjiro and Yumeki from her custody. Nemu also extended his support to Namihei and his children, despite the lack of blood ties. Unfortunately, pleas fell on deaf ears as the Hero Public Safety Commission rejected their appeals, leaving them trapped in a distressing and untenable situation.

In a remarkable turn of events, Nemu managed to gain full custody of Benjiro and Yumeki, a feat that filled Namihei with gratitude and admiration. A sense of guilt also settled within Namihei's heart, knowing that Nemu had confronted Sayo so readily for the sake of his own children when he himself felt powerless to do so.

With Nemu's unwavering support and the aid of lawyers funded by Nemu, Namihei and his children were eventually able to break free from Sayo's clutches. The law caught up with Sayo, and she was arrested for her mistreatment of Benjiro and Namihei. Grateful for Nemu's assistance and safe haven, Namihei and his children moved in with him at U.A., which also marked the beginning of a blossoming relationship between Nemu and Namihei.

The newfound safety and stability that Namihei and his children experienced at U.A. brought them immense relief. Namihei decided to take on a new role as an art teacher for hero students at U.A., a position that allowed him to contribute to the growth and development of young heroes while pursuing his own passion for the arts. He also continued his hero work with renewed confidence, liberated from the shadow of his ex-wife's family's agency. Through this transformative journey, Namihei forged stronger bonds with his children, as well as Benjiro and Yumeki, nurturing a foundation of love and understanding.

Moreover, Namihei's connection with Takeshi, Nemu's adoptive son, gew over time, with Namihei later approaching Takeshi and asked if he would like to be adopted by him. Filled with emotion, Takeshi readily accepted the offer, solidifying their familial ties. Namihei cherishes Takeshi's role as an older brother to his children, appreciating the love and care he showers upon them.

As their family continues to grow and evolve, Nemu recently proposed to Namihei, symbolizing a new chapter in their lives. Namihei enthusiastically accepted the proposal, embracing the future with open arms. Together, they embark on a journey filled with love, support, and a shared commitment to nurturing their expanding family.
