Adachi's Mother
CharacterAdachi's Mother is the ailing, bedridden parent of Mika Adachi in Dandadan. Her mounting hospital costs are what pushed her daughter into the dangerous job of stealing yokai powers for the Orchestrator, a gamble that nearly cost Mika her life.
Appearance
Age shows plainly on her, from the white of her cropped hair to the creases across her face. She lies in a hospital gown with a pair of feeding tubes threaded through her nose.
Personality
The source offers no detail about her temperament; she appears only as an unconscious, bedridden patient seen in flashback.
History
A severe illness, apparently contracted not long before, confined her to a hospital bed and left her dependent on care she could not afford. The expense pushed her daughter Mika to take work beyond her teaching post at Kami High. Recruited by a shadowy figure, Mika was tasked with draining yokai powers using kozuka knives. Hoping to earn more than the assignments paid, since the money still fell short of the hospital bills, Mika began hunting targets on her own initiative. The gamble went badly: the Orchestrator dismissed her and left her on the brink of death.
