Umeko Ando

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Umeko Ando (安東ウメ子 Umeko Andō?) is an Ainu (Native Japanese) singer who died in July 2004. Episode 17 of Samurai Champloo bears a message regarding this at the end of the credits, reading simply:

Umeko Ando

May her soul rest in peace.

It is likely that some of her music was used in the show as the Ainu style was used in a few episodes briefly before this point in the series.
