Ayumi

was one of Kagome's three best friends in modern-day Japan. She's the only one of her friends who has always supported Kagome and Inuyasha's relationship.

Physical description
Ayumi has wavy shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes. She wears the same uniform as Kagome.

Personality
Ayumi was the most naive and gentle of the group of Kagome's friends. Unlike Eri and Yuka, who felt that Kagome's 'delinquent boyfriend' was bad news and were thus constantly encouraging Hōjō on his romantic pursuits of said time-traveling schoolgirl, Ayumi was almost always shown as supportive of the couple. Some of this was, of course, due to her innocent demeanor and optimism. However, she does believe that Kagome truly was in love, and that because of this any problems the couple might stumble upon may be overcome.

She was shown to have an interest in song, acting as the maestro to her school's choir performance during the cultural festival. She is also the only one of her friends who seems to enjoy school. Yuka also says that she always has done well in school.

Trivia

 * Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka were all names given to the girls by Sunrise, the anime company who produced the series. Rumiko never officially gave the 3 girls names in the manga. However, she did name Hōjō.
