Takimoto Hifumi is a character designer ~!(currently character team leader)!~ for Eagle Jump, a gaming studio located in Tokyo.

Hifumi is especially shy to the point of avoiding talking to people or looking at them directly. As a result, in order to not make her feel uncomfortable, the other employees interact with her through the company's computer messenger system. Although, in later seasons she becomes more lively and goes out of her way to try to improve talking to people. 

Contrary to her normal personality, she becomes very lively, outgoing, and cheerful while texting or messaging, often using emoticons in chat. She secretly enjoys cosplay and owns a pet hedgehog named Sojiro.

Some trivia about Hifumi:
- Her favorite colors are Blue and Pink
- Her favorite clothing style is "Sweet Lolita"
