Umaru is obviously exaggerated for comedic effect. His irl sister was probably just a normal younger sister and most people get annoyed by their siblings to some degree. A lot of times older siblings feel like the younger ones get away with more so that could have contributed to the character also.

>Sankakuhead mentions that Umaru-chan as a character is based on his real sister. She appeared as being perfect on the outside, yet after getting back to home she was extremely lazy, was the inspiration of the manga after he observed her sister.

> Around Volume 6-7 of the serialization (2015). His sister was diagnoised with a rare diseaae and started to live in the hospital for treatment. Even tho Sankakuhead tried his best to be positive and encourage her, the disease keeps getting worse.

>Around Volume 10-11 of the serialization (2017), his sister wasn't able to beat the disease and passed away. Sankakuhead at the time was deeply hit. EVen at times due to being in insane amount of grief he is going thru he wasn't able to physically to bring himself to continue to draw Umaru-chan, and applied for a break at the editorial department.

>During when the anime was celebrated by everyone, at congratulation dinners Sankakuhead pictures himself saying on stage "I am very happy". Yet at the same time he's enduring the pain of grieving losing a close a relative. These kind of conflicting feeling left him feeling complexed and confused.

>Sankakuhead reveal that on the physical copies of Volume 11 the cover has a photo of a t-shirt, Said T-shirt was actually a gift to her sister. That picture was taken during when her sister personally wore it. He expressed that he hope this is a way of leaving proof that she was alive.

>Back then he didn't reveal it to not leave readers feeling sad on a series supposed to be goofy and happy, He kept it private for the longest time. But now he hope that he can express his real self on his own youtube channel. And also hope that the readers don't forget about Umaru-chan. Because to him it means that you all won't forget about his sister.

>At the end, Sankakuhead said this while choking up: "Umaru-chan as a character is my sister...I hope people don't forget about her. Umaru is proof of that she was alive, if I never had a sister, Umaru-chan as a character would've never existed. I only want Umaru-chan to never be forgotten forever, it means that my sister will be remembered by you all."

By the way, he said in the beginning of the video that he has two little sisters. That's why he often draws two Umaru-chan.

Also I think what hits me the hardest is how he reminisces about his past with his dead sister, like when they're still children. Like, when he says that, it seems like he really wants to go back to that time:

>And, well, memories with my sister... Hmm. The thing I remember most is that we drew manga together. Drawing manga together... I used to draw manga with friends at school, but when you go home, you don't draw manga with friends, right? But, my sister was at home. So I’d draw manga and draw pictures with my sister. I drew a hamster manga. My sister and I were each bought a hamster—one each—and we made those hamsters into characters and drew manga. Or the two of us would make flyers like "This toy is going on sale!" or "Game adaptation announced!" and play with those. Back then, I thought it was normal. But thinking back now, it was really precious. I think I was drawing such fun manga because my sister was there. If you're an only child, you can't do that, right? You have to draw alone. So, yeah.

Also, he says when he was a kid, he didn't understand why his parents spent so much money on her sister(s). Although he later says he understand it now, like as parents, you have to buy cute and nice clothes for your daughter.
