In her early 30s. Wife to Ichiro and mother of Achan. She moves to the Takayanaki family estate from Tokyo when her husband desides to return to the area of his birth after several years of marriage. Her husband's family is so powerful they nearly own the small village. She gives a bath to her father in law Tomizo, after this him blackmails her. Her husband has very little time for his daughter and none for his wife, as a result she feels lonely and neglected. Over time the indifference of her husband and the abusiveness of her father in law leads her to crave more time with her brother in law.
