OtapediaUmaru Doma Himouto! Umaru-chan - Nendoroid

Himouto! Umaru-chan is a slice-of-life comedy series created by Sankaku Head and originally ran as a manga from March 2013 to November 2017. It focuses around the titular protagonist, Umaru Doma, and her desire to laze around her home despite being seen as the ideal student by her peers at school. After the series gained a sizable following, an anime series produced by Doga Kobo was produced in 2015 and was followed with a sequel series in 2017.

The anime series helped spread the popularity of Himouto! Umaru-chan even more, resulting in plenty of different kinds of merchandise being produced. One type of merchandise that is particularly popular among fans includes collectible figures of characters from the series, with Good Smile Company's Nendoroid series of figures being especially notable for its iconic chibi style and affordable prices. As such, the series saw its protagonist receive its first Nendoroid with the release of the "Nendoroid Himouto! Umaru-chan Umaru (Re-run)".

Although she appears like an average person whenever she is outside, her "true" form is portrayed in an adorable chibi style that perfectly matches the style that Nendoroid figures are known for, making these two a wonderful match. This figure of Umaru has all the details one would expect of a figure of the titular protagonist, like her big, brown eyes, rosy cheeks, plain white shirt, and iconic orange hamster hoodie. The set also includes additional accessories like a bottle of cola, a bag of potato chips and other junk food, a handheld game system, various arm, and leg parts, and five different face plates to change up her expression.

About Umaru Doma

Umaru Doma is the titular protagonist of Himouto! Umaru-chan and is known for being exceptionally proper and elegant when outside. When she returns home, however, she becomes a game-playing and junk food-eating scoundrel, much to the ire of her older brother, Taihei.

About Umaru Doma: Background

Umaru Doma is a high school student who is well known among her peers for being exceptionally beautiful, smart, and talented. As such, she is revered around her school as the "perfect" student by those around her. As soon as she gets home, however, her personality flips and she becomes a spoiled otaku girl who is prone to consuming junk food and crying when things do not go her way. Here, Umaru spends most of her time watching anime, playing games, and other such things while leaving tasks like housekeeping to her brother, Taihei, even though he works all day to help provide for Umaru and her expensive otaku hobbies.

About Umaru Doma: Notable Abilities and Traits

While at school, Umaru is seemingly skilled in nearly everything she tries to do, whether it be schoolwork or extracurricular activities. That said, she also has several other skills as well. Since she spends so much time playing games at home, she has become infamous among regulars and employees at the local arcade. She is capable of clearing out crane game machines and wins a fighting game tournament hosted by said arcade. Aside from this, however, Umaru is particularly skilled in getting her brother Taihei to get her what she wants, even if he refuses to do so at first. While outside, she often attempts to fake cry and causes a scene, attracting attention to the both of them, forcing Taihei to give it to dispel the gazes around him. Inside, however, she throws loud, obnoxious tantrums that eventually make Taihei cave in to make her stop.

Other Important Himouto! Umaru-chan Characters

Two of the most important characters to Umaru would be her brother, Taihei Doma, and one of her closest friends, Nana Ebina.

Taihei Doma

Taihei Doma is a 26-year-old man and Umaru's older brother. During the day, he works at a company named Diamond Service. He is often seen as an overly kind and hardworking individual by those around him. Due to this, however, many tend to take advantage of Taihei's kindness and make him do their work and chores for them. This is also somewhat true when it comes to Umaru, as she has learned how to manipulate him into doing what she wants to a degree. Although he deeply cares for his sister, Taihei has a limit to his patience and is capable of getting angry, though he tries to not take his frustration out on her. Generally speaking, Taihei is also very empathetic, though is a bit dense when it comes to romantic feelings that are directed toward himself.

Nana Ebina

Nana Ebina is a classmate of Umaru's and one of her closest friends. She is generally shown as being exceedingly shy and nervous around others, though she always tries to see the brighter side of things. Although she was originally from Akita prefecture, she eventually moved to Tokyo and lived in an apartment by herself. Here, she met Umaru and Taihei, as they live on the floor above her. Although she carefully studied in order to cover up her Akita dialect and blend in while in Tokyo, her accent sometimes comes back when she gets flustered or excited. Ebina is also particularly passionate when it comes to food and has quite a large appetite.
