Kotoko Takano

Kotoko Takano (高野 琴子, Takano Kotoko) is a minor character in Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi. She is the mother of Masamune Takano.
== Appearance ==
Kotoko has short, straight black hair. She is only ever seen in the story in business attire, befitting of her job as a lawyer.
==Personality==
Kotoko is a serious person who only seems to care about her work as a lawyer. In her only physical appearances in the story, she considers her work to be more important than attending a meeting about Masamune’s future career path.
==History==
Kotoko’s hometown is in the countryside of the Kagawa Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. Not much is known of her late parents, but her childhood home was maintained up until the passing of her mother. There was a single cherry blossom tree at the entrance of the house that her father insisted on planting out of his love for cherry blossoms. The house was demolished about five years ago from the present story according to Masamune during The Case of Ritsu Onodera No. 22.
At some point, Kotoko became a lawyer and moved to Tokyo. She married a surgeon with the surname of Saga, and went on to have her son Masamune. However, her husband was not the biological father of Masamune. They went on to have marital issues that eventually led to their divorce when Masamune was 17 years old.
Following her divorce from Saga, she resumed going by her maiden name- Kotoko Takano. She took custody of Masamune and they moved to her hometown, where they would live with her mother in her childhood home.
While her current whereabouts are unknown, Masamune has mentioned before that both his parents have gone on to marry new people and have made new families. In The Case of Masamune Takano from Volume 15 of Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi, it is shown that she re-married sometime during Masamune’s college years. It is currently unknown what her surname is now that she has re-married.
==Relationships==
===Masamune Takano===
Kotoko has a very strained relationship with Masamune. When Masamune was growing up, both she and her husband would often spend long periods of time out of the house due to their jobs. Kotoko in particular was shown leaving Masamune an envelope of money for monthly expenses, as both she and her husband would often leave him to fend for himself.
After she divorced her husband, she was the one that took custody of Masamune and moved them out to Kagawa. However, as soon as Masamune was able to start college in Tokyo, he has had little to no contact with Kotoko. It is only shown one time that she reached out to him after he moved out, via an invitation to her wedding.
==Trivia== 
*Kotoko hates animals, as she mentions to Masamune the first time she sees him with Sorata.
