Kasumi is extremely energetic and cheerful, embodying the "genki " personality trope. When she has her heart set on something she'll go for it despite what those around her think. This determination blinds her to how selfish she can be at times though, wishing for those around her to follow her idea of the musical paths they should follow. This doesn't originate from a bad place however, as it's her desire to drive her friends towards a path they had fallen off from and that can unite them, although her actions are rather forceful. One example of this was when she wanted her friend, Saaya, to become the band's drummer. Saya had given up being a drummer when her mother fell and she began looking after her family, however her refusal to leave her family without her care to join Poppin' Party prompts Kasumi to become incredibly upset sparking a fight between them.

That being said, Kasumi's determination and unshamed attitude in how she appears socially can be a major inspiration. to those around her, such as when it prompted Rimi to overcome her self-confidence issues. She loves french fries and white rice, but hates natto, and loves all her friends, acting affectionate with them. Gallery
