Mama (InuYasha)

In the Japanese anime and manga series InuYasha, the mother of characters Kagome and Sota is always referred to as Mama.

Little is known about her, except that she is always supportive of Kagome. Whenever InuYasha drops by, she would welcome him to stay and ask him to dine with the family. She is very lax about Kagome's life, and does not seem to mind at all that her daughter spends long periods of time with strangers in the distant past. How much of the situation she actually understands is debatable.

Her husband, the fater of Kagome and Sota, is never shown or seen in the series, he is only briefly mentioned in the first movie of the franchise, as Mama tries to encourage Kagome when she senses that the situation is dire on the other side of the worm hole.

Mama could be either 'Mrs. Higurashi' or 'Ms. Higurashi'. Her first name is never given.
