Mother Takanashi

Mother of Momoko and Akira. She goes ballistic when her son disappears, and resorts to chopping off her daughters hair so she can take Akira's place. She threatens to disown Momoko if she fails, due to the toils she had to endure to get her son accepted into such a prestigious school. It appears as though she does not care much for Momoko, and when she gives up on Akira, she decides to take Momoko home, train her to be the perfect lady, and marry her off to a rich man. At first she is very cold to Itou, and gets in the way of their relationship. When she finds an open report on Itou, though, she learns that he has the top grades and is the son of an Executive of a big company, and she approves of the relationship. (Source: Wikipedia)
