The waitress of the snack bar "Cha-Cha-Maru", the resident of room #6, she
is a red-haired bombshell who wears a negligee whenever she's in
Ikkoku-kan. Though she may act sloppy, she is quite a sensitive lady who
can understand not only Kyoko's feelings but Godai's as well. When the
two's relationship was reaching a critical point, she sharply nagged Kyoko
in an attempt to make Kyoko more honest with herself. She even threatened
to have a relationship with Godai. Also, when the master of Cha-Cha-Maru
visited Ikkoku-kan to propose to her (two days before Godai and Kyoko's
wedding), she acted ignorant and had fun. Later, she gets married to
Master (he recently divorced his wife), and moves to the second floor of
Cha-Cha-Maru. (I hope she's not wearing the same kind of clothing that she
did in Ikkoku-kan...)
Note on japan character voice: Yuhko Mita also played Benten (Urusei Yatsura) and Anna Puma (Dominion). She doesn't sound that different, does she?
