Inamori Yuriko

Asuto's Mother was Inamori Asuto's ill mother.

Appearance
She was a slender woman with a rosy skin complexion and shoulder-lenght dark hair. She had the same, green oil eyes of her son with three stripes of a less dark green at the bottom of the iris.

Personality
Despite her brief appearance, is still possible to deduce some little aspects of her personality: she was seen as a caring and supportive mother who, despite her illness, tried to be always smiling for her son's benefit. She was also seen as extremely mature, not afraid of her upcoming death and proud of her son capacity to go on even without her presence. She seemed to have a great relationship with Asuto, being extremely supportive in his passion for soccer, knowing the importance this sport has in her son life.

Plot
Asuto's Mother was already hospitalized prior the start of the serie, due to an unknown illness that gradually was taking over her physical conditions. She made her first and only first appearance in episode 1, when Asuto reached her after he was informed by his friend Hiura Kirina that her health was getting worse; worsening his mood already disturbed by the demolition of the soccer club of his school. Instead of worrying about herself, she motherly was more interested in her son injuries, asking what was happened to his face, full of patches and scratches. After Asuto's worries about her, she informed him to be on the verge of death, asking forgiveness for her inability to follow his growth. Despite Asuto's dismay, she tried to reassure him saying she'll be forever with him, along his life-passion for soccer. She died few moments later in her hospital bed, in presence of his distraught son.

Relationship

 * Inamori Asuto (Son)

Trivia

 * She has several similarities with Matatagi's Mother:
 * both of them were already ill prior the start of their respective series, being forced to be unable to follow the growth of their children (although Asuto's Mother illness seems more serious or in an advanced state);
 * they were the only adults of their family due the abscence of a paternal figure (while about Matatagi's father is known that he left his family long time ago, there are no clues about Asuto's, even if he is alive or not).
