Tetsuko Sanada (真田 哲子, Sanada Tetsuko) is the late mother of Ryu Sanada and Toru Sanada. She died while she went to pick up her younger son at school, in a car crash caused by the ground frozen by the snow.
Appearance[]
Tetsuko is described as a youthful young woman who her eldest son bears a striking resemblance to. As seen in flashbacks, she had nape length, light brown hair and light brown eyes, and she was always seen wearing a warm and gentle smile on her face. Something that her son, Toru, had inherited.
Personality[]
As seen in flashbacks, before her passing, Tetsuko was portrayed as a kind and caring individual. Any time that Chizuru would come over to hang out, she always made rice balls, something that would be remembered by both Ryu and Chizuru herself.
Relationships[]
Genji Sanada[]
Genji is Tetsuko's husband and the father of their children. It seems they were deeply in love with each other, since her husband was seen to cry and despair after her death.
Chiaki Yoshida[]
Sanada family's neighbor, with whom she appears to have been close friends. In flashbacks, they often appear together discussing or watching their similar-aged children (Chizuru and Ryu, as well as Toru and Chizuru's unnamed older brother). Chiaki appeared distraught at Tetsuko's death, and helped look after and cook meals for her sons after the accident.
Chizuru Yoshida[]
Chiaki's daughter. Tetsuko often made onigiri for her and Ryu to eat, and deeply cared for her. She appreciated Chizuru's close friendship with her son Ryu, especially as he was often misunderstood by other children, and joked about how the pair might get married one day. After her death, Chizuru was seen grieving, after realizing that she will never be able to see her again.
Etymology[]
- The name Tetsuko means "philosophy" (哲) (tetsu) and "child" (子) (ko).
- Tetsuko's surname Sanada means "braid, plait" (真田).
