Personality
Rumi acted like a mother figure for the Kabuto family, becoming close with Shiro Kabuto and expressing concerns about Koji Kabuto.

History
Rumi was hired by Juzo Kabuto to look after his house and his grandchildren as he was busy with a secret project. She got along well with Shiro but grew concerned about Koji and his reckless attitude. When Dr. Hell sent Baron Ashura to go and kill Juzo Kabuto he/she first went round to the Kabuto household, he/she then forces Harumi to tell him Juzo's whereabouts before killing her in cold blood and leaving. Rumi was found later by Koji and Shiro; Shiro cried over her body as Koji went to check on their grandfather. She is never mentioned again afterwards.
