#510 Umi Sonoda
Umi Sonoda is one of the nine idols from the school idol group μ's! She is a second-year student at Otonokizaka High School. She leads the lily white, a sub-group within the popular μ's school idol group. While Umi may be usually shy, she can be a very fierce leader. Just ask Honoka and Hanayo! Umi was brought up in a strict household. Their family owns a dojo that teaches both martial arts and traditional Japanese dance with Umi carrying the responsibility of continuing both teachings. Due to the traditional family she was raised in she has quite a proper personality that is just like a Yamato Nadeshiko which is the name for a traditional Japanese lady. However, thanks to her upbringing she knows the best way to train her body and is in charge of everyone's physical training.
