GO'DAI:
GO (Kanji): "5, five"
DAI (Kanji): "price, materials, substitution" (SHI-RO) o "world, society, generation" (YO) YUKARI:
Godai's grandma looks like Yoda microwaved for 30 minutes. She is the one
who raised Yuhsaku because his parents were too busy running the restaurant
"Godai's". She first visits Ikkoku-kan just before the announcement of the
results of the college entrance exam. The next time she visits to check up
on Godai to see how he's doing with his social aspect. When she leaves, the
tenants throw a gigantic party and the next day, Grandma wakes up as if
nothing had happened, while Godai is suffering from a major headache and
others are having trouble waking up. Once they arrive at the Ohmiya
station, the tenants and grandma Yukari resume partying, sending Godai to
the washroom. Unfortunately, Grandma misses her train, so the party
continues until the next train (Godai passes out). She always cared about
Godai more than his parents, so when she found out that Yuhsaku was getting
married, she happily loaned him a lump of money which she had been saving
for her funeral fund. She also gave Kyoko the ring that she had originally
gotten from her husband. Also, she is the culprit of the turmoil in
Ikkoku-kan two days before the wedding (Kyoko was waiting for a letter from
grandma, and the looney squad rumored it to be from another man.)
