Sohma Fan Club
CharacterA newer club built around admiration for the whole Sohma family rather than a single member. Its founder is the daughter of the woman who once ran the Prince Yuki Fan Club, carrying that fixation into a wider form.
Overview
The Sohma Fan Club is a group devoted to the Sohma family as a whole. Ruriko Kageyama leads it, and she happens to be the daughter of Motoko Minagawa, who formerly headed the Prince Yuki Fan Club.
Role
Unlike her mother's club, which fixated solely on Yuki Sohma, Ruriko's organization spreads its attention across every branch of the family and prizes each Sohma equally. Its members hold a deep store of knowledge about the clan, above all those enrolled at Kaibara Municipal High School. Ruriko once poured an entire summer break into researching them, until her mother urged her to ease off.
