Kyouko Honda

Kyoko, Tohru's mom, was once a wild spirit, notorious for skipping school and getting tangled up in trouble, even leading an all-girls gang dubbed "The Red Butterfly." Picture her tearing through the night on a motorcycle, the tail lights flickering like a fiery red butterfly. After some rough patches, like being disowned by her family and bruised by her gang, she found love in the unlikeliest of places with Katsuya, a student teacher. Their whirlwind romance changed her life, and after Katsuya's death, she nearly lost herself in despair. But a moment by the ocean brought her back to her daughter, Tohru, promising to never let go again. When Tohru went missing once, Kyoko's panic was real, but the relief was overwhelming when Yuki found her. This fierce mom's love runs deeper than her past troubles.
