KawaSumi (カワスミ KawaSumi) is the term used to refer to the romantic relationship between Kawaki Uzumaki and Sumire Kakei.
Their relationship
New Era
Kawaki Arc
First, Team 7 goes to Ryutan to hand over the Hokage's prosthesis for improvement, but it turns out that Sumire is Katasuke's assistant at the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team. Later, the same prosthesis will be used by Kawaki. From Sumire, Team 7 heads to Kawaki. Sumire eventually goes to Konoha alongside Katasuke to help analyze and care for Kawaki due to his scientific enhancements.
In episode 190, Kawaki was sent to the Scientific Ninja Lab for a checkup and to cure him after he collapsed because of the fight he had against Garo. After Kawaki woke up, Sumire, Boruto and Mitsuki were sent to feed Kawaki, but Kawaki kicks both Sumire and the food away thinking that it was poisoned. Boruto grabbed him by his shoulder angrily asking him what is going on with him, but Mitsuki ordered him to stop because Kawaki was weak due to his drained energy. After a couple of minutes, Kawaki asks to go to the bathroom, but instead he escapes from Boruto and Mitsuki's sight.

Sumire went running after Kawaki to stop him, and both found each other on the stair case. Kawaki warned Sumire to step back because he didn't want to hurt her, but soon found themselves indulging in a physical fight. Soon enough, Sumire overpowered Kawaki and pinned him against the floor and grabbed both of his hands, warning him to obey them or else threatened to restrain him. Kawaki admited he thought she was meek and bluntly accused her of being a liar. Moments later, he used a scientifing ninja tool, shoving her towards the wall, hurting her back. When Kawaki was ready to leave, Nue appeared and bit his arm causing his arm to bleed profuriously. Sumire stood up and ordered Nue to stop biting him, but Nue threw Kawaki, resulting in his handcuffs to break. Kawaki stood up and told her she is a monster for keeping that beast, just like him. Sumire was shocked by his words, and Kawaki got the chance to escape. Sumire told to herself she will go for Kawaki no matter what.

Sumire went after Kawaki. She saw drops of Kawaki's blood scattered on the ground, and came to a conclusion that he still didn't leave Ryutan as the blood droplet was still fresh. She also figured out that he will take time to recover and is not ready to fight yet. Kawaki's words of calling her a monster still lingered in her head. Kawaki was roaming around, looking for food. Soon enough, a stray dog stole a sausage from a meat shop. The meat shop owner came across the dog and was ready to chase it, but Sumire stopped him, asking what if he hurts the dog. The man angrily shoved her away and continued chasing the dog.
Kawaki on the other hand was losing all his energy and consciousness, but came across the dog, which was having the meat sausage. Kawaki asks if it was for him, but the owner caused a wound on the dog's body and held it upside down, trying to take the meat from it. Kawaki scared away the man, as Sumire watches in amazement at how he defended the animal, while also having a sad look of pity, feeling that the way the dog was treated might be similar with Kawaki's past,probably explaining the boy's anger. Kawaki angrily asks Sumire if she wants to get killed by him. But Sumire told that healing the dog is important now. She healed the dog by medical foam, and held Kawaki's hand to check his wound, but he jerked her hand away, but Sumire rolled up his sleeve and was amazed by how quick his wounds were healing. She also apologized for Nue's behavior. Kawaki scared the dog away and Sumire told him that he didn't need to do that. Sumire held his hand, and Kawaki was still adamant in not going back despite receiving a favor from her. He took the sausage and ate it and was amazed by its taste.

Sumire informed him that Naruto is coming to Ryutan to talk to him. But Kawaki still acted casual and called it stupid. Sumire assured him that he is a very understanding person and will help him for sure but Kawaki told her that he doesn't trust adults as well as kids. Sumire understands him and feels that he has trust issues. Kawaki ordered her to stop fooling him. Sumire narrated her story, saying that she was being implanted with Gozu Tenno, and was implanted to just satisfy her father's thrist to destroy Konoha. She also told him that she was trusted by her father and had no choice but to follow his orders, also telling that she almost destroyed Konoha. But, Boruto and the others saved her and he helped her walk towards the right path. Kawaki asked her as to why she is telling all this. Sumire replied by telling she felt that he might have had a painful past just like her. Kawaki asked her to stop and told that she knows nothing about him. But, she, wanted him to tell her his story.
Kawaki was about to walk away, but Sumire stopped him, knowing very well that his wounds might've not healed yet. Kawaki stopped, and held his injured hand, feeling dizzy. She asked him to wait and offered him a nutrient supplier. She was about to inject him but Kawaki grabbed her neck and harshly pinned her against the fence, lashing out that he doesn't want anything to be injected inside him. Nue got angry, but Sumire pleaded him to not do anything to him now. She painfully assured him that she didn't want to harm him, but he refused to listen to her and continued strangling her. Boruto came at the right time and ordered Kawaki to let go of her. Soon, the Konoha policemen surrounded them. Kawaki wrongly assumed that Sumire did all this to distract him and stall for time. He choked her harder, her back hitting the fence. Nue reached his limits and bit Kawaki's hand in his house pet form, but Kawaki easily jerked him away. The policemen were ready to fire at him, but Sarada asked them to stop as Sumire was with him as well. They started firing, but Kawaki managed to escape. Sumire fell unconscious.
She soon woke with Boruto, Naruto and Sai alongside. Sumire explains to Naruto that Kawaki is not rampaging by his own will and requests him to talk to Kawaki before taking any action as she feels that he has a type of sadness inside him. When Boruto reminded Sumire that Kawaki tried to strangle her, she ignored it and told that she knew that look because she was just like him, and begged Naruto to hear everything that Kawaki has to say. Naruto met with Kawaki and had a small fight with him, but Kawaki fell unconscious due to the drain in his energy. Sumire felt relieved, and Boruto was wondering as to what was happening. Sumire explained that Kawaki was having an intense sadness rooted deep inside him.
In the anime, the team 7 was in the hospital being cured from early the fight. Kawaki was about to get injected by a painkiller from Sumire, but he declined the offer, and went downstairs and found Boruto. Shikadai and Inojin brought some cards downstairs the hospital to cheer up Boruto and Kawaki after their fight, and the four of them started playing. Sumire saw them and damanded the other boys to not make any noise as Kawaki needs rest. Everyone bade goodbye, while Kawaki and Sumire headed to his hospital suite. Kawaki questions Sumire as to why the boys referred to her as the 'Class Rep'. Sumire smiled gently at him and responded that she was the class representative in their academy days. Few moments later, Kawaki asked Sumire if she can inject her some of the vaccine which he declined earlier.
After Kawaki and Team 7 rescue Naruto, they return to Konoha for treatment. Sumire and Katasuke tend to Kawaki and run tests on him to see his compatibility with his prosthetic arm. After determining that the incompatible nature of Naruto's prosthetic and Kawaki's nano-tech body would cause Kawaki pain, Sumire offers Kawaki pain medicine to ease the burden. Kawaki declined, saying that his body was tough enough to manage it, saying that "for better or for worse" his body is made to withstand heavy injury without dying. Sumire frowns and gives Kawaki a look of sympathy.

The conversation ends short when Boruto runs in and announces that Naruto is awake. Kawaki and Sumire smile and greet Naruto when he comes in, and Sumire watches as Kawaki and Boruto begin to playfully banter with each other. Shikamaru interrupts and tells Kawaki they'll need to keep him under surveillance for the time being. Sumire frowns sympathetically again when Kawaki agrees to those terms.
Suddenly, Ino sends a transmission saying that Amado is holding Shikadai hostage. Sumire explains to Boruto what "seeking asylum" means while Kawaki tries to figure out why Amado is doing it. Kawaki knows Amado well, he would never do such a thing. He is confused, and Sumire, on the contrary, is very serious and immediately guesses that his life is at stake, so he flees to Konoha. During interrogation, Amado reveals that he is the chief scientist of a dangerous organization and has turned Kawaki into a cyborg. Sumire asks Katasuke if they take him, will he be able to restore Kawaki's arm? Katasuke confirms this.
Boruto, Sumire, and Kawaki all go together to watch from outside the glass as Amado is interrogated by Shikamaru, Naruto, and Sasuke. They are shocked to learn about the alien parasites and the apparent goals of the Otsutsuki clan that Amado talks about and surprised to watch Kashin Koji's fight be projected. When Amado begins to talk about the Karma, Boruto looks at the one on his palm, while Kawaki and Sumire both look at Boruto. All three are disheartened by the warning that the karma would eventually turn Boruto into Momoshiki. Irritated by all the revelations and concerned that Amado is a traitor, Kawaki barges into the room while Sumire and Boruto watch. Sasuke ends the altercation and soon after Kawaki faints and loses his Karma during Jigen and Koji's fight.
In the anime, when Kawaki's karma disappears and knocks him unconscious, Sumire wants to go check on Kawaki with Boruto but Katasuke stops her saying that this information needs to be delivered.
Sumire, Shikamaru, Katasuke, and an unconscious Kawaki are taken to an underground safe room invisible to the Byakugan eye to hide from Isshiki. Sumire asks if Amado is really able to restore Kawaki's arm which he confirms he can. Sumire also asks about Kaguya and Isshiki and the chakra tree and what needs to be done about it. Amado explains that they have a chance if they could somehow shorten Isshiki's lifespan, as he only had 3 days left to live. Until they noticed that he was planning to use Otsutsuki to feed the divine tree. Sumire suddenly realizes that Isshiki plans to use Boruto as he is Momoshiki's container, worrying everyone in the room except for Amado who already knew this. Amado applauds her deductive skills.
After a lapse of time, Kawaki's prosthetic arm opens a portal and Kawaki disappears. Sumire calls out Kawaki's name, but he disappears. Everyone in the room is upset and disappointed.
Code Arc
In the anime Sumire was relieved because now Amado will be able to restore Kawaki's arm and overall Kawaki will be better off because Konoha's science team can't help.
As she treats him, she warned him that a certain syringe might sting. Kawaki told her to go ahead, telling her that he is not some snotty nosed brat, and a flustered Sumire apologizes. Amado tells Kawaki to be nicer to his 'caretaker', calling her brilliant and saying that without her he would be stuck in a world of trouble. Kawaki questioned Amado's bossy attitude and added that Sumire was Katasuke's staff, so he wondered why Amado was taking her to be his assistant. Katasuke assures him that it is an advantage to have her in his care team, and that working together with Amado to help take care of Kawaki is what Sumire herself wanted.
Despite Sumire telling Kawaki that she only knew the basics, she assured him that he does not need to worry from now on, but also said that it would be best if he avoided getting hurt. Kawaki stared at her. She also says that by caring for him with Amado she can ask him about Boruto since they spend so much time together. Kawaki glanced at her and bluntly asks Sumire if she likes Boruto, which embarrassed her. She asked him to stop saying it so bluntly and requested it to be kept as a secret between them. Katasuke laughed it off, thinking to himself that her crush on Boruto was very obviously known to everyone. Kawaki said he didn't care about it as long as shes able to do her job and immediately left after Amado gave him the ok to go. When Amado called out to tell Kawaki something, both Sumire and Kawaki looked at him. They seemed suspicious of Amado when he decided not to tell Kawaki what he had wanted to say.
Time passed by and Sumire and Amado were taking care of Kawaki. After a bad dream, Kawaki woke up in a panic. Sumire asked him if he was ok and Kawaki told her it was just a nightmare. Amado began taunting him about the fact that Kawaki will always be Isshiki's vessel. In anger, Kawaki pushed Amado to the wall threatening to kill him but Amado only continued to taunt him further, effectively demoralizing Kawaki and making him lose all hope in protecting Naruto and Konoha. After the incident, Kawaki left the room, and Sumire watched him leaving.
Moments after he left, Sumire asked Amado what his true intentions are with Kawaki, and why he wants to restore Kawaki's karma. Amado tried changing the subject, but Sumire loudly told him not to do it, so he gave in and explained to her. Later she refuted Amado's accusation that she was sent there as a spy and admitted she really did come work there of her own free will because shes worried about Kawaki and Boruto and is suspicious of what Amado is truly plotting behind the scenes.
They both understand each other, because they have experienced a terrible past with their parents. Their parents used them for their own purposes, but Sumire and Kawaki still loved them and carried out their tasks. Both of them suffered beatings from their parents, hard training, their diet was very small, so both of them do not have favorite dishes and any special tastes in food. Although they both only visually know about each other's past. As a child, Kawaki wished for a goldfish, a symbol of happiness, while Sumire's mother said she would pray for her daughter's happiness. They both just want happiness and peace, but their lives are turned upside down when Amado arrives in Konoha. Sumire became Amado's student and from the first minutes of acquaintance noticed his strange attitude towards Kawaki.
Sumire notices the strange tone of the Hokage's talk about Kawaki, she suspects something. She questions Shikamaru about the Hokage's strange behavior, but he says it's normal, Naruto almost died there.
Sumire observes Kawaki's condition.
Later after a long battle with Code, while checking on Kawaki's condition, Sumire notices the strange tone of the hokage's talk about Kawaki. She asks Shikamaru about the hokage's strange behavior, but he tells her not to worry about it and that hes just exhausted after nearly dying.
Kawaki admits to killing Boruto infront of Sumire.
She returns to Kawaki's room and stays there until Kawaki wakes up. The first person Kawaki sees when he wakes up is Sumire, she calls Kawaki's name, but he turns his eyes to Naruto. A serious conversation awaits them. Naruto asks Sumire to step out into the hallway for a minute while they talk. Sumire apologizes for not understanding right away and quickly leaves, but Kawaki bluntly asks if hes gonna condemn him for killing Boruto before Sumire can get out. She stops, frozen in shock at what he just said but Naruto quickly reassures them both that Boruto is alive and well, relieving Sumire but shocking Kawaki who thought for sure he was dead. No one knows about Boruto's past death except for a few adults and now Sumire. Nanadaime leaves after Ino alerts him of an intruder, leaving Kawaki and Sumire alone in the room.
Sumire tries to comfort Kawaki, saying that he must have had to make a difficult decision, but Kawaki changes the subject and turns the conversation to karma calling Amado a bastard to restoring it without his permission. Sumire deduces that Amado restored Kawaki`s karma when he reconstructed the arm, as it took a long time. Kawaki tells her that he really wanted karma back, without it Lord 7th would be dead. He is grateful for it from the bottom of his heart. Sumire notices that these thoughts of his may be part of Amado's plan. Sumire says that she doesn't have any evidence, and maybe it's just her irrational fear, but she thinks that Kawaki's karma is for Amado's personal goals. Kawaki believing Sumire's words, goes to look for Amado.
Sumire and Kawaki go to the Hokage's office together so that Shikamaru can explain his plan for how to deal with the new threat of Ada and Daemon. When Boruto suddenly enters the room, Kawaki is just surprised that he has resurrected. Sumire changes subject by telling Boruto shes glad hes ok, breaking the awkward tension. Boruto apologizes for making her worry, but Kawaki just remains silent since the truth is still being hidden from the rest of Team 7. Shikamaru gets their attention by telling them the plan. Hearing that Eida loves Kawaki and is going to Konoha to see him, Kawaki is disgusted and says he'd rather fight Code. Boruto is confused why she wants Kawaki when she can charm anyone she wants but Sumire deduces that its because she wants to have a 'genuine' romance rather than one forced by her ability, which only disgusts Kawaki furhther by calling her an idiot for this mindset. Shikamaru warns them not to say bad things about Eida, because she can see and hear everything.

- The word "kawaki" is dry and you can tell that Jigen told him that he is empty inside and nothing will heal his lonely heart.

Among the Fans
Kawaki asking why Sumire is called an class rep.
KawaSumi is a somewhat popular ship among fans. It has been growing since episode 190 after they started interacting more. From all people he has come across, Sumire is one of the people he has some kind of respect alongside with Naruto, since he admitted she was brave and strong enough for trying to stop him, and he's now trusting her more since she's responsible of taking care of his arm and status. Kawaki from the beginning was very aggressive and dry with everyone, including Sumire, but gradually his bad vocabulary was improving and he began to respect and her more.
It's rival pairings are BoruSumi, KawaBoru, MitsuSumi, KawaSara, KawaHima, and SaraSumi. It is sometimes a companion to BoruSara and MitsuCho.
