Shizuka's Mother (Mrs. Minamoto)
Shizuka's mom is genuinely kind and affectionate—not just to Shizuka, but to her friends too. She shows up constantly throughout the series.
She's best known for one thing: being conveniently unavailable whenever Nobita stops by. Whether he's showing off some new gadget, dragging Shizuka out to do homework together, or just looking to hang out, Mrs. Minamoto has a standing excuse ready. She's either at the library, running errands at the market, at Shizuka's piano or violin lesson, or—worst case scenario—already out with Dekisugi. Fans often note the running gag that she has impeccable timing when it comes to being somewhere else.
