Ume Aihara is Yuzu Aihara's devoted mother who single-handedly raised her daughter after losing her first husband. Known for her generous and kind personality, Ume Aihara has always put her family's happiness at the center of her life.
Ume Aihara, previously known by her maiden name, Okonogi, became the stepmother to Mei Aihara after marrying Shō Aihara.
She is cherished for being open-minded and always thoughtful, especially towards her family.
Her earlier romantic partners were known for having rather eccentric personalities, with Shō Aihara fitting into this pattern and causing Yuzu initial concern.
Ume's professional life is unconfirmed, but she is seen working at an outdoor site and appearing in workwear and a helmet, suggesting a blue-collar field.
Occasionally, her job requires her to be away from home for overnight shifts.
Ume Aihara radiates warmth and patience, putting her children above everything.
She maintains a relaxed attitude, but is also insightful about family matters, always striving to make Yuzu and Mei feel at home.
Ume's grand gesture—gifting a double bed to Mei and Yuzu when Mei returns home—shows her supportive spirit and sense of celebration for family milestones.
Ume Aihara is voiced by Kana Ueda in the anime adaptation of Citrus.
She is depicted in various scenes, including working outdoors and showing care for her family through both actions and gifts.
