Mrs. Mutsumi is the wife of Takuro and mother of Goro. She and her family own an inn named "Tsuruya" ("Crane House"). Mrs. Mutsumi arranged a marriage meeting for her son Goro and Kurumi Kimihoshi (Goro's old friend). However, Goro refused to meet his prospective bride, not knowing that it was his friend Kimihoshi (NOTE: Goro just learned that his longtime friend was the rejected prospective bride when Kimihoshi visited in his apartment after his refusal to go to the marriage meeting.).
