Ikuko is a housewife who's genuinely talented in the kitchen, though she spends a lot of her time frustrated with Usagi's laziness, messy habits, and poor grades. She's pretty clueless about what her daughter actually gets up to outside the house—honestly, she's not much different from Kenji in that regard. Despite all that, she comes across as well-meaning and kind, even if she's not always tuned in to what's going on with her kid.
