Aside from his team, Umemiya is also deeply invested in the wellbeing of the general community in Makochi, this being a foundational goal for him in the original plan for the reformation of Furin High and the establishment of Bofurin itself. He is both well known and well loved throughout the town, and is often doted on and praised by the townspeople.

Casually, he tends to wear T-shirts with silly slogans (for example, fresh grilled meat being one) and light colored jeans. Occupation: Leader of Bofurin, a gang of seemingly delinquents that have gathered to protect the town of Makochi. Members of Bofurin are polite, courteous, and protect those that need help. These are all things Hajime Umemiya values. Backstory: Umemiya was the first son born to very loving parents, who taught him at a young age things that remain as his core values into his young adulthood as the leader of Bofurin. Around the time when he was 9 years old, his father and pregnant mother were killed in a vehicular accident. It was at this time that he entered into the foster care system, where he was taken to multiple different facilities before he arrived at Furinen Orphanage located in the town of Makochi and within the territory of the pre-Bofurin Furin High School gang. When he first arrived at Furinen, he struggled with feelings of guilt so severe that he refused to eat and stated that even if he tried to, he couldn't taste the food. Though he had been born with naturally black hair, at this point the color had begun to change to white. In a conversation amongst the orphanage staff, foster care worker Yuki Shitara implies that this change in his hair color had likely been caused by the extreme stress that Umemiya had experienced. Shortly after his arrival and while still refusing to eat, Umemiya sought out a way to punish himself for his parents death, which he believed was his fault, even going so far as to label himself as their murderer. At the time, the town of Makochi was constantly being subjected to gang violence involving the Pre-Bofurin Furin High School gang, and Umemiya chose to interrupt one of these fights in an attempt to be killed in the process. When a third-year student from Furin High School steps in to save him from being beaten to death, Umemiya blames the third-year for ruining his attempt to kill himself to atone for his belief that he was to blame for his family's deaths. The Furin third-year student chided Umemiya for trying to dirty someone else's hands in his suicide attempt, then took Umemiya to a bridge to give him the opportunity to die without involving anyone else in his suicide. Umemiya realized mid-step off of the bridge that his parents' last moments were happy because they were able to save him from the accident. As he began to fall, and was pulled back to safety by the Furin third-year. The third-year then took Umemiya back into town where they ran into Furinen Orphanage foster care worker Yuki Shitara, who had been out looking for Umemiya. Shitara-sensei carried Umemiya back to the orphanage while Umemiya spoke about his parents saving him and their happiness at having done so even at the cost of their lives. After Shitara-sensei affirmed Umemiya about his parents' love for him, Umemiya was then able to allow himself to emotionally process the trauma of his family's deaths. They returned to the orphanage, and Umemiya ate for the first time since his arrival. One of the younger children, Kotoha, at the orphanage referred to him as their "big brother," which deeply affected him as he mourned the loss of not only his parents, but also his unborn younger sibling. Through his middle school years, Umemiya fostered friendships with the townspeople in Makochi while he sought out people to aid him in his mission to unite Furin under one leader and protect the town. He recruits those who would later become the Four Heavenly Kings of Bofurin--Toma Hiragi, Tasuku Tsubakino, Saku Mizuki, and Takumi Momose. Once he was of age to enter Furin High School as a student, he and his Four Kings fought their way to the top and he claimed the spot as leader and officially established Bofurin.
