Gurio Umino was the well-meaning but socially awkward otaku classmate of Usagi Tsukino and Naru Osaka. His usual function was to provide the girls with vital information, such as the existence of Sailor V and the identity of Mercurius in Ami's First Love, or to provide direction that led Usagi to a location targeted by the enemy. He later became romantically involved with Naru, despite initially having an infatuation with Usagi.

Musicals[edit]

Umino was played by Marina Tanoue in Nogizaka46 Version Musical and its first revision, and by Miyuu Nakano in the second revision.

Trivia[edit]

  • Naoko Takeuchi has said in an interview that Umino was supposed to be handsome without his glasses.
