Uramichi is a handsome 31-year old former gymnast who is physically well built with a refreshing smile, but is actually mentally unstable. Despite keeping an upbeat personality on the show, he cannot help but reveal his resentful and nihilistic worldview, often telling the children the sorrows of being an adult. He is a smoker and heavy drinker, and his only hobby is muscle training, but he hates this being pointed out. • Tobikichi Usahara (兎原跳吉, Usahara Tobikichi): • Tobikichi is a 28-year-old man who plays a rabbit mascot called "Usao" in Together with Maman.
