Biography

First Arc

A client arrived while Yuhi, Yuamu and Yudias were out on a job, so Tazaki kept the client waiting until they returned to the UTS Main Office. Once the twins returned, the client turned out to be an MIK agent, Manabu Sogetsu, and Yuamu ordered Yudias to run, Zomyoji taking up arms with the other adults as the office was surrounded by MIK agents. Yudias challenged Manabu to a Rush Duel, so Tazaki suggested they Duel outside given the small size of the room. Yudias eventually defeated Manabu, forcing MIK to leave.

UTS received a request from people being attacked, and while they were having dinner one night Yagi was attacked getting more yakitori, Zomyoji rushing in with Tazaki, Yudias and the twins. Yuhi and Yudias ran off in pursuit, as did Yagi, while Yuamu and Tazaki identified the common factor behind the attacks to be the Monster Card "Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan", having Purisaki make her a "Meeeg-chan" cosplay to lure the culprit in. Yuamu's plan succeeded and after news of her solving the mystery spread, UTS received a significant number of requests that Zomyoji assisted in taking. He joined most of his coworker that evening, chatting with Maki over dinner.

Second Arc

Following Yudias' Rush Duel with Zuwijo zir Velgear, Yuamu promoted him to Chief of the Alien Investigations Division, Zomyoji applauding Yudias' promotion. Manya's manager London Kirishima then visited the UTS Main Office with a request for them to find an elementary schooler who had gone missing in the Alien Residential Area, a request Zomyoji and the other adults were against the twins accepting due to the danger the aliens living there posed and their previous encounter with Zuwijo. Despite the adults' misgivings, the twins remained enthusiastic and London continued to press for them to accept the request, so Tazaki Rush Dueled London to settle the matter. Despite Tazaki's piercing strategy, London defeated Tazaki with his own piercing effect, suggesting the experience could be a worthy challenge for the twins. After Tazaki admitted to London he hadn't expected the desire for challenge, London admitted he'd been distracting the adults to allow Yudias and the twins to sneak away, to Zomyoji's shock, and the adults pursed the trio to the entrance to the Alien Residential Area. Instead of stopping them, they provided them with bento boxes and they told them the UTS family motto, encouraging them to challenge themselves for their dreams, complete the request and return safely.

Zomyoji and the other adults welcomed Yudias and the twins when they returned that evening having not found Yuna, but having been instructed to seek "the Informant". Yuhi then ran screaming from the bathroom claiming to have seen a ghost. The following day they learned that Yuhi had thrown all the mirrors in the building outside at the request of the "ghost", and Yuhi further tried to cover up all reflections. Yuamu's decision to return to look for the Informant prompted the building to shake, but Yuamu declared a UTS Special Emergency and instructed Zomyoji and the other adults to create a reflective room for her in the UTS cipher, while she and Yudias carried Yuhi around the city and the "ghost" continued to attempt to obstruct them. Zomyoji and the other adults prepared Yuamu's room for her and signaled its location to Yuamu.

The Rovian Bandits visited UTS, intending to purchase the property. To Zomyoji's shock, Yudias stated they would consider the offer if Rovian Kirishima Rush Dueled him, and he was further surprised when Yuamu agreed with Yudias, claiming the Rovian Bandits had made fools out of them. Yudias was forced to play with two Monster Zones due to the damage to Valvelgear, which he was using as a Duel Disk, and made a comeback with an Equip Spell Card, the same type of Spell the Rovian Bandits had been using. Manabu was then alerted by his superiors to something entering the solar system, which Rovian and her Chapeaunian Camos claimed to be the Great King of Terror.
