Yoshino Mizutani (水谷 佳乃?, lit. Mizutani Yoshino) is the wife of Takashi Mizutani and the mother of Shizuku Mizutani and Takaya Mizutani.

Appearance[]

Not much has been said about Yoshino's appearance except it is mentioned by Takashi Mizutani (Yoshino's husband) that Shizuku Mizutani looks very much like her with mid-back length light-brown hair and dark-brown eyes.

She is usually seen in her work uniform.

Personality[]

Yoshino seems to have a calm and cold personality, in which Shizuku Mizutani and Takaya Mizutani inherited. However, Yoshino cares deeply for her family, taking matters into her own hands as soon as she realized Takashi Mizutani (Yoshino's husband) was unable to work.

History[]

Yoshino is considered as a workaholic (a person who compulsively works hard and long hours) as she is never home until everyone is asleep. It is possible that because Takashi Mizutani (Yoshino's husband) struggles with work, she works overtime to support her family. At one point in the past, she called her husband a failure because she was fed up with his failed attempts at work. She appears only when talking on the phone with Shizuku Mizutani or sending her a fax.

When it's Shizuku's birthday, she can't leave work to see her and Shizuku gets a little depressed, but Haru Yoshida then lends her his cellphone to call her. Yoshino says sorry that she can't go to see her because of work and she'll talk to her later. Later, Yoshino calls Shizuku and they talk about school, friends and Haru. She tells Shizuku she doesn't have to pick between studying and Haru, because she can get both if she works twice as hard.

So far, she has yet to show her face in either the manga or the anime. However in the manga, she's only partially shown and it is possible that she looks like Shizuku.
