Hakobe Shigaraki

Hakobe Shigaraki ( Shigaraki Hakobe ) was the wife of Tanuki Shigaraki and mother of Sumire Kakei .

## Background [ ]

When Danzō Shimura was killed, it caused Root to be completely disbanded and an investigation on the unit was started.

Hakobe told her daughter Sumire to not give up hope, but she herself later died from deteriorating health, despaired and disdained for her family.

## Personality [ ]

Despite all the hardships of her life, Hakobe wholeheartedly believed that such a life would end with her generation and that her daughter's life would become happier in the future, and she promised to pray for this to happen.

## Appearance [ ]

Hakobe had purple eyes and hair, which her daughter inherited. She wore a red shirt, a white cape over it, and red pants.

## Legacy [ ]

Hakobe's death was one of the factors that caused her husband to become stronger in his desire to take revenge on Konohagakure for the Root and his family, a mission he eventually passed on to Sumire by inflicting Gozu Tennō on her back before his own death. Over the years that followed, Sumire's memories of her mother were the brightest corner of her life, although over time, Sumire almost forgot her voice. Ultimately, Sumire was able to remember her mother's words that she herself would have a new life without their suffering, and this, along with the words of Boruto Uzumaki , convinced Sumire to give up revenge and choose her own path.
