Abilities and Powers
Umi is knowledgeable about the artforms practiced by geisha and was able to teach Robin to perform well enough to be summoned by the Shogun in a rather short period of time.

She is skilled in playing the shamisen, which she uses for performances and lessons.

Past
Umi already had her profession 20 years ago, and performed with other geisha on the night of Kozuki Oden's battle with Kaidou.

Wano Country Arc
She took Nico Robin as her student "O-Robi" and trained her in art of geisha, particularly dancing. During the oiran's procession, she appeared to Robin to inform her that she had been summoned by Shogun Kurozumi Orochi. She then explained the concept of "oiran" to Usopp, Sanji, and Franky.

Trivia

 * Her name may come from Tsugaru-jamisen, a genre of shamisen music that originates from the Tsugaru Peninsula.
