Background
Umi Miho started as a "Mascot" for the youtube channel Stryker & The Goons in early 2021.

She can be commonly seen using Electronic Filters to give her covers a more electric / vocaloid aesthetic, with a very high-pitched vocal range. The inspiration for Umi Miho's Design stems from the Touhou character Suika Ibuki and the vocaloid Hatsune Miku.

Normal Attire
Umi is commonly seen wearing a blue skirt, a top without any sleeves, a chain linking around her side, accompanied with a white bow tied around her neck. atop her head, you can see a blue bow, 2 horns, and a gorgeous pair of light blue eyes. the pattern in the eyes is unique, and compliments the blue and green gradient found along her hair. she commonly leaves one of her eyes partially covered by her hair, which can reflect on her anxious and quiet nature.

Summer
Umi can commonly be seen wearing a unique yellow and blue sundress in tropical settings. she will occasionally wear socks with her sandals, because she's aware of how the internet reacts to uncensored feet.
