AI Reasoning: Found a confirmed investment: Mochio Umeda participated in Manabie’s $4.8M seed round announced Apr 22, 2020. However, more recent coverage shows Manabie raised Series B on Apr 29, 2025; earlier participation indicates investor activity-need last known investment by Mochio: I found no evidence of Mochio making investments after Apr 22, 2020. That date is 5 years and ~6 months before the reference date, which would be >12 months, but I must rely on confirmed investor-specific activity. No sources show Mochio investing after 2020, so the last known investment is Apr 22, 2020, which is more than 12 months ago, assigning tag accordingly.

Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.

Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
