Yumoto is cheerful and full of energy.

He is very innocent and often acts without thinking.

He is the mood maker of the Defense Club, bringing laughter and fun to the group.

He can be childish, and his actions often surprise those around him.

Yumoto is friendly and loves animals, especially fluffy ones.

He cares a lot about his friends and doesn't like arguments.

Even though he is silly at times, he has a unique talent for guessing answers in math without calculating, but he is terrible at language tests.

He has never caught a cold until one episode, and when he did, he acted very proper and polite.

He is a big eater and can eat enough lunch for three people.

Yumoto lives with his older brother, Gōra Hakone.

Their family owns a public bathhouse named Kurotama Bathhouse, which is a common meeting place for the Defense Club.

Yumoto and Gōra are close, and their parents are often away on hot spring tours, so Gōra takes care of Yumoto.

He only gets 500 yen allowance per month, and his friends joke that it's what an elementary school student would get.

Yumoto is often targeted by VEPPer because of his strong bond with his brother Gōra.

Yumoto can transform into Battle Lover Scarlet, the leader of the group.

He transforms by kissing his Love Bracelet and shouting "Love Making!".

His symbol color is red, and his special power is light.

He fights monsters directly and usually gives them a passionate speech before defeating them.

He uses his Love Stick, with the tip shaped like a heart, to attack enemies.

His main attacks are "Scarlet Lumière" and "Scarlet Love Lumière," which shoot beams of red light.

With his team, he leads the "Love Attack," combining everyone's powers to unleash a big heart-shaped energy blast.

When a monster is defeated, he uses "Love Shower" to return them to normal, with a rain of hearts.

He always ends battles by saying "Love is over."

Yumoto is very close to his brother Gōra Hakone.

He gets along well with the other members of the Defense Club: En Yufuin, Atsushi Kinugawa, Ryuu Zaou, and Io Naruko.

He loves to hug and play with Wombat, even when Wombat tries to escape.

His friends often tease him for his wild ideas and huge appetite, but they all rely on his bright spirit.

• "If my big brother turns evil, who will heat the bath?!"
• "Shine, light of love!"
