Yumeko Tendō appears as a human child character in the 1985 *GeGeGe no Kitarō* anime series and related media. A fourth-grade elementary school student, she measures 143 cm in height and weighs 39 kg. Her family comprises parents Masao and Yūko Tendō and younger brother Hoshirō Tendō. Her stated aspiration involves becoming a picture book author. Physically, Yumeko possesses long brown hair featuring short bangs that reach her eyebrows. She typically dons a blue dress with white sleeves and a white collar, complemented by white socks and matching blue shoes. Her personality reflects kindness and a firm belief in peaceful coexistence between humans and yōkai. This philosophy aligns her with Kitarō, whom she considers both a friend and romantic interest. Her affection for Kitarō sparks a rivalry dynamic with Neko-Musume. Demonstrating pragmatism, she tolerates Nezumi-Otoko's persistent and inappropriate advances, strategically leveraging his infatuation to assist Kitarō and others when required. She also exhibits compassion toward marginalized figures like Shu-no-Bon, whose admiration he describes as angelic. Her influence contributes significantly to Shu-no-Bon's moral redemption and ultimate sacrifice during the Jigoku Arc. Symbolically, her name combines "Yume" (夢, dream/vision) and "ko" (子, child), with the surname "Tendō" (天童) meaning cherub or heavenly child. Collectively, her full name evokes the thematic interpretation of "dream child from the heavens." Regarding broader appearances, Yumeko features in a cameo within *Saishinban GeGeGe no Kitarō*, where Chapter 12 implies she has since entered high school. Her documented roles remain confined to the 1985 anime continuity and referenced manga appearances.
