Futaba Miyamizu

Futaba Miyamizu (宮水 二葉) is Toshiki's late wife and the mother of Mitsuha and Yotsuha. She was a devote member of the Miyamizu family, where she participated in various rituals for her family's shrine until her death around 2009.

Appearance
Futaba was a very beautiful woman with straight, shoulder-length which she leaves loose but sometimes had it tied into a low ponytail when performing Miyamizu traditions and brown eyes. Her daughters look almost identical to her and inherited her beauty.

Personality
Futaba seemed to be a very kind and caring woman. She was a very loving mother towards Mitsuha and Yotsuha and loved her husband deeply. Before her death, she was very sad to leave her family behind and apologized to them.

Background
Futaba is the daughter of Hitoha Miyamizu. As a Miyamizu, Futaba was trained to become a shrine maiden. She also had dreams when she was a young girl ― dreams about someone else's life ― like her mother and eldest daughter. At an unknown point in her life, Toshiki came to Itomori for research and met Futaba. They eventually married and had two daughters, Mitsuha and Yotsuha. Since Toshiki was married into the family, both he and Futaba were active in the Miyamizu traditions. However, after Futaba died of sickness, her husband was grief-stricken and left the family's shrine because he said he only loved Futaba and not the Miyamizu shrine. He left then to pursue politics and since then, Mitsuha and Yotsuha have lived with their grandmother.

Trivia

 * Her name, Futaba (二葉) means "two leaves". This also applies to her mother, her name meaning "one leaf", her eldest daughter, "three leaves", and her younger daughter, "four leaves".
