Full name: Kumiko Yamamura. Nickname: Josee.
Why she calls herself Jose: Kumiko Yamamura's real name is Jose, but she prefers to be called Jose. She took this name from her favorite book by French writer Françoise Sagan. Jose is a heroine whom Kumiko admired for her free spirit and courage. By using this name, Kumiko seems to distance herself from her past and create an image of a woman who is not limited by her disability or circumstances. Therefore, she usually introduces herself as Jose and rarely reveals her real name.

First meeting: When meeting, Jose acts cold and wary. She seems prickly, arrogant, and even rude. She doesn't trust strangers because she's used to relying only on herself. She rarely smiles and often responds with sarcasm or snide remarks. She doesn't allow herself to be treated condescendingly.
Attitude to pity: Jose hates being pitied because of her disability. She wants others to see her as a normal person, not an object of sympathy. If she detects pity in someone's voice or actions, she becomes colder and may abruptly end the conversation.
