Umeki (うめき,Umeki) is a Smasher fromKantō, Japan. With a career spanning over a decade, he is considered one of the bestPeach, and by extension hercloneDaisy, players across several differentSuper Smash Bros. titles.

Debuting inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl with decent performances, Umeki first made a name for himself inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U by becoming one of the bestPeach players in his country, ranking among the top 50 in Japan for all ofSmash 4. He was especially known for consistently making use of Peach's up air infinite, leading many to dub it the "Umeki Rainbow". In-tournament, he frequently placed highly atUmebura events. His best string of performances inSmash 4 took place in the game's final year, where he finished 2nd atUmeki Project and 9th atUmebura Smash 4 Final; these results landed him at 58th on theOrionRank 2018. Due to his success in Japan, as well as some success internationally such as placing 9th atApex 2016, Umeki was ranked 94th on thePGR 100 as one of two Peach players, the other beingSamsora, to rank on the list.

UponSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate's release, Umeki switched to Peach's Echo Fighter,Daisy, and became the character's primary representative. In the early metagame, he placed top 8 at several Japanese majors, including a 3rd-place finish atUmebura SP 6, and eliminatedMkLeo atUmebura Japan Major 2019, giving MkLeo the worst placement of hisUltimate career up to that point. Due to these performances, he was ranked on both iterations of thePGRU. In the post-pandemic metagame, however, Umeki became notoriously inconsistent, with several high-highs being balanced out by some noteworthy lows. Despite these inconsistent performances, he remained one of the best Peach/Daisy players in competitive play, finishing 2nd atSeibugeki 12 and even winning the ditto againstMuteAce atPort Priority 8. His continued success led him to rank among the top 100 for most of the post-pandemic metagame, and he reached a career high in 2023 after ranking 33rd onthat year's LumiRank.

Umeki is also a prominenttournament organizer in Japan, and is the head tournament organizer for the Umebura series inUltimate.
