Umitaki

Umitaki is the femslash ship between Umiri Yahata and Taki Shiina from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Umiri and Taki are classmates at Hanasagakiwa Girls' High School at Class 1-B. They have somewhat contrasting personalities as Taki, who has a cool appearance, is quite blunt and short-tempered, while Umiri, who has a stoic and cool appearance, is quite playful and easygoing. They are both also musicians as Taki is MyGO!!!!!'s drummer, while Umiri is Ave Mujica's bassist, and before that, had played as a bassist for 30 different bands.

Outside of her bandmates, Umiri is the person Taki interacts with the most, as the two often talk to each other, especially about music. Umiri also buys snacks and drinks for Taki, especially when she thinks that the latter is feeling depressed.

The two are first shown interacting in Episode 4 as Taki is air drumming while wearing headphones at recess. She accidentally hits her desk and her chocolate milk carton falls off it but Umiri manages to catch it in time. Umiri points out that Taki is in high spirits and after glaring at her, Taki asks which bands Umiri is going to play with. Taki remarks she wouldn't recognize any of the names and Umiri retorts that Taki was the one who asked for them in the first place. When Taki mentions that she's going to RiNG after school, Umiri asks if she has managed to find new band members. Taki says that isn't the case and then Umiri asks if her old band managed to reunite and says that she's happy for Taki.

In episode 6, Umiri silently wonders Taki is sleeping in class but decides to not ask about it. A few days later, after feeling stressed and disappointed over not being able to compose the band's music as well as Sakiko, Taki sulks in the classroom and Umiri approaches her, placing a drink on her head and joking how it's nice to see Taki depressed because she's quiet, expecting a reply from her. She then starts leaving and Taki answers her, and Umiri mentions feeling a bit jealous of Taki being able to worry about her band so much and leaves the classroom.

In the eight episode, Umiri approaches Taki again and repeats her previous action before asking if Taki's first concert bombed hard. Taki then counters saying it was huge success, and Umiri answers how this time she's congratulating Taki with the drink.

In the tenth episode, after Soyo reveals to Taki that she was just using their band in order to reform CRYCHIC, Taki approaches Umiri and asks her to play as MyGO!!!!!'s bassist as a last resort. However, while they attempt to play, Umiri abruptly stops mid-song and says she can feel that they're having a hard time playing without their previous bassist. Taki attemps to stop her from leaving but Umiri just tells her to talk to her after Taki and the others have reached a conclusion. During a recess, Umiri curiously asks what happened to them, and Taki, with a sad look, says it's over.

In the twelth episode, after Taki and the others managed to have a heartfelt performance and stop the band from completely breaking up, she notices Umiri and Uika talking at recess. Umiri then approaches her and Taki says she didn't know the two were close, leading to Umiri asking with an amused look if she's jealous. Taki doesn't answer her and instead smiles when she gets messages from her bandmates. Umiri congratulates Taki for being able to resolve her band's dilemma and tells her she can ask Umiri for her services whenever she wants again. When Taki says it won't happen again, Umiri grins and asks "is that so", leading to Taki glare at her while feeling embarrassed.
