Kanae Katagiri

Kanae Katagiri is one of the characeters from anime/manga Bleach series. She was a Gemischt Quincy and a former maid in the service of the Ishida family. She later became the wife of Ryūken Ishida and mother of Uryū Ishida.
She is voiced by Mamiko Noto in the original Japanese version and by Megan Hollingshead in the English dub.
==Appearance==
Katagiri is a young woman with black hair braided in a bun on top of her head and dark eyes, wearing the standard black and white maid outfit.
In one picture, after Uryu's birth, Kanae has long, loose hair, a white shirt, and a black skirt.
==Personality==
Katagiri is very calm most of the time, well-mannered, kind and extremely loyal to the Ishida family, especially to Ryūken, to whom she has sworn allegiance and protection from the first day they met. She is always supportive of Ryūken, ready to listen to his thoughts and give him advice.
When Ryūken was returning home after Masaki was saved by Isshin, Katagiri confessed to him her deep concern and love for him, stating that when he cries, she cries with him, and seeing him devastated breaks her heart.
==Trivia==
*Almost a decade before Katagiri appeared and her physical appearance was revealed in the manga, Studio Pierrot briefly showed her on-screen during an anime-original flashback Uryū Ishida had after encountering Yoshino Sōma, who reminded him of his mother. It is unknown if Tite Kubo had solidified her design by this point and shared it or if Pierrot simply made a rough estimate of what she would look like, but the woman shown does have strands of hair arcing away from and back to the rest of her hair as Katagiri did, albeit with lipstick that Katagiri is never depicted with.
