Gender: Female

She is the mother of Hatsuharu Sohma and the parental grandmother of Sora and Riku Sohma. Haru describes her as a woman who cares a great deal about her appearance.

They did, however, put him into martial arts when they noticed his uncontrollable anger as a child. She is first mentioned after Haru destroyed his classroom in a fit of rage, in which he states that it will take a while before she arrives at the school since she is busy putting on makeup and focusing on her appearance.

Hiro's Father

Gender: Male	Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (Japanese) Ivan Jasso (English)
Manga 2019 Anime	He is the husband of Satsuki Sohma, and the father of Hiro Sohma and Hinata Sohma. The details of his character are unknown, but he is a similarly kind, loving, and doting parent to his children as his wife. It was together with Satsuki that he came up with both Hiro and Hinata's name, because they wanted "sunny" names for both of their children. Like Hiro, he seems to be worried about Satsuki’s clumsiness, especially when she used to trip while she was pregnant with Hinata. He is mostly mentioned by Satsuki and Hiro throughout the series, but he makes two cameo appearances; one in Chapter 75 (or Season 2, Episode 16) where he is happily seen walking with Satsuki in the Sohma estate, and another one in Chapter 78 (or Season 2, Episode 18), where Hiro recalls that when Satsuki almost fell over, both he and his father were shocked.
