Yasuko Takasu is the mother of Ryuuji, although she is a minor character major assumptions can be drawn from her character. Throughout the anime she is known to come home drunk and tired from work. She dresses in tight clothing and one can assume she is a hostess or something similiar. Her patrons know her as Mirano-chan.

She is also klutzy and is never entirely in this world, as she is usually half asleep. She depends on Ryuuji entirely for cooking and cleaning, although she gives him some encouraging advice to help his relationship with Taiga. She is very child-like, but can be a responsible mother every now and then. She cares deeply for Ryuuji and sees his potential. To support his dreams, she took on two jobs so that he wouldn't need to work to support himself through school. When he starts working at the bakery, she gets upset because she wanted him to focus on studying rather than working. She is known to Taiga as Ya-chan. She considers Taiga part of the family and is saddened when she didn't come by to eat dinner.
