While foreign names are normally written in katakana, the names of Kinzo's children and grandchildren are written using similar-sounding kanji. Kinzo's descendants have a Western naming style.

Those born under the name Ushiromiya bear the family crest, the 'One-winged Eagle' ( 片翼の鷲 Katayoku no Washi ?), on their clothes, while those outside the family do not. Following Kinzo are his four children, from oldest to youngest (first son Krauss, first daughter Eva, second son Rudolf, and second daughter Rosa), then his grandchildren in order of their parents' age (Krauss' daughter Jessica, Eva's son George, Rudolf's son Battler, and Rosa's daughter Maria), and finally his children's spouses as they are not blood relatives (Krauss' wife Natsuhi, Eva's husband Hideyoshi, and Rudolf's wife Kyrie). As the current head, Kinzo holds the highest rank of all the family members. After that comes to pass, the headship will be passed down onto a successor according to a preset hierarchy. While the youngest members of the family, Kinzo's grandchildren, see it as a chance to bond and have a pleasurable time chatting about their lives, their parents, Kinzo's children, take the opportunity to debate how Kinzo's assets are to be divided after his death. The current members of the Ushiromiya family gather on Rokkenjima every year for their annual family conference. In Umineko, there is a rumor that Kinzo turned to the Golden Witch Beatrice and sold his soul for ¥20 billion worth of gold, allowing the Ushiromiya family to prosper more than it ever had before. The current head, Kinzo, was originally part of a smaller branch of the family, and it fell to him to restore the family's glory.

The family was initially much greater and contained more members until the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, after which the family was severely crippled, both domestically and financially. Rokkenjima is owned by the wealthy Ushiromiya family, and serves as the home of the family head. Second row: Nanjo, Eva, Hideyoshi, Georgeįifth row: Shannon, Kanon, Gohda, Kumasawa.
