Nobuko Izumi

Nobuko is a kind and attentive woman who gets emotional easily. As Shinichi's mother, she helped him many times and listens to him and Kazuyuki, her husband. She showed a lot of concern when Shinichi began to change from his experiences, eventually feeling as if he had become unrecognizable as her son. However, while Shinichi felt guilt over her scar, she didn't think it was something to fuss about. During day-to-day life, she was slightly disgusted by her husband reading gory news about the Mincemeat Murders aloud, and startled when he commented that Shinichi probably wanted privacy to "jack off".
