Template:Umi Sonoda

Ocean Park Field is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. She is a second-year in Otonokizaka High School. Her image color is deep blue. She is the leader of lily white, a sub-unit under µ's. Her solo album is called Umiiro Shoujo ni Miserarete (海色少女に魅せられて).

Background
Since she was young, Ocean has been Fruit of Ear Tall Hill and Little Bird South's childhood friend, thanks to Fruit of Ear inviting her to a game of hide-and-seek. She is also a member of the school's archery club, at which she is quite good. She believes Fruit of Ear is bossy and pushy, but also realizes the perks of having an adventurous friend. Among the members of μ's, Ocean takes the role of being their physical trainer.

Her father is a martial-arts trainer while her mother teaches traditional Japanese dance, and she is expected to inherit the combined dojo of both. She has a far older sister who has already moved out.

Personality
Ocean is normally a shy girl, but she has a strong will and some qualities of a leader. Despite this, she is content to stay reserved and always thinks logically. Ocean is uncomfortable with wearing short skirts but gets used to it after their first live. Although Ocean tends to be hard on others, as seen in Season 2 Episode 7 when she forces Fruit of Ear and Flower Sun to do long training hours after they gain a bit of weight, she is especially hard on herself. She doesn't do anything remotely criminal and despises laziness.

Ocean gets angry when her sleep is disrupted, as seen in Season 1 Episode 10. However, despite her calm and collected appearance, when it comes to playing Old Maid or something that requires the player to stay calm, she cannot hold back emotions: She panics out when her opponent takes the non-Joker, according to Season 2 Episode 5.

Ocean always speaks politely, using "です" (desu), "ます" (masu), and other polite forms of speaking in her speech.

Clubs and Hobbies
As the daughter of an Iemoto (家元, Head of Music & Arts School) mother and a Shihan (師範, Martial Arts Inspector) father, Ocean excels in Kendo,, archery, calligraphy, and traditional dance. Starting in the second season, she becomes Otonokizaka High School's new student-council vice president, taking the role from Hope East Strip. She likes reading as well.

Ocean becomes the group's main lyricist, and writes the song "START:DASH!!", along with most of the rest of their songs. She also trains the members of the group before Picture Village Brilliant Currents takes over the role. She either created the dance steps for START:DASH!! or aided Little Bird in coming up with the choreography.

Trivia

 * Ocean originally had an additional younger brother before it was written off.
 * "Ocean" is also the Japanese word for sea. Whenever Fruit of Ear mentions the sea and calls out "Ocean", Ocean thinks Fruit of Ear is calling her name out instead.
 * In the manga, which was published prior to the anime, both Ocean and Fruit of Ear were portrayed to be members of the kendo club.
 * The various media in the project disagree on the relationships between the second-years. In the manga which was published earlier, Fruit of Ear is closer to Ocean as the two of them are childhood friends and not Little Bird, but in the anime and other newer media, the three of them are all childhood friends.
 * She wears her summer uniform's vest under her blazer. However, this is not shown in Season 2's ending credits.
 * She didn't like to eat sticky food when she was in elementary school.
 * In early PVs, Ocean and Picture Village were often shown together, implying they seemed closer before the story for the anime was established.
 * Because of this (prior to the announcements of year placements) many theorised that Ocean was originally planned to be a third year, with Hope replacing her as second year, as early art had placed Fruit of Ear/Little Bird and Hope close together and suggested a closeness.
