Hifumi Takimoto's role at Eagle Jump

Extremely shy in face-to-face conversation, Hifumi often communicates more comfortably through text messages, where she becomes playful and expressive. Her quiet manner contrasts with her skill, reliability, and gradual growth as a senior colleague.

Shyness, mentoring, and professional growth

Her friendship with Aoba and the other designers helps her become more confident, while her experience with character art makes her an important source of support during demanding production schedules.
