Akemi Hinazuki
Akemi is Kayo's mother and has a seriously troubled relationship with her daughter. She and her live-in boyfriend are responsible for the physical abuse that Kayo endures at home—something that becomes a central tragedy driving the story forward. Her parenting is defined by neglect and cruelty rather than care, making her household an unsafe place for a child. The abuse she participates in is treated as a major plot point that shapes everything that happens to Kayo.
