Mother

Taeko Mitsuba in the manga

Taeko Mitsuba (Tina Morgen in Canadian Dub) is a major character in the Ninja Hattori-kun franchise. She is the wife of Kentaro Mitsuba, mother of Kenichi Mitsuba and foster mother of Kanzo Hattori and Shinzō Hattori. She likes Tsubame and assumes that Kemuzou Kemumaki and Kagechiyo are good.

Physical appearance[]

Taeko is of average height and weight, while her husband Kentaro, is short and obese. She usually wears a pink-striped shirt along with a white apron and pink skirt. When she is in public, her outer top is pink, Inner top is white (green in the 1981 anime), necklace is gold lined with emerald (fully gold in 1981 anime), and skirt is pink. She also has a yellow night dress and can even wear a blue-silvery dress on formal occasions.

Personality and traits[]

Taeko can stay calm most of the time, although she has a very short fuse. She can often scream at her son Kenichi when he gets low marks. She can also rely on Hattori for Kenichi's punishments. For in one episode, she told Hattori to use an ega puppet to spank him, because he went on a date with Yumeko instead of studying.

Relationships[]

Family[]

Taeko has a good relationship with her family (including her husband). She is shown to argue with her husband at times though.

It is obvious that she is a loving mother to Kenichi, though she is more strict than Kentaro.

She has also been shown to visit her mother, leaving Kenichi, Hattori, Shinzo, Shishimaru, and Kentaro at home.

Hattori and Shinzo[]

Taeko is shown to treat Hattori and Shinzo even better than she treats Kenichi, even going to the extent of depending on Hattori solely. However, she does have a tendency to scold them sometimes (for instance, in "Manage things yourself" she tells Hattori "For God's sake, stop protecting him!")

Other Ninjas[]

Taeko frequently relies on Tsubame to keep an eye on things while she's away. She is, however, like her husband, misled by Kemumaki.

History[]

Taeko was a well-known essayist before she met her future husband. She gave birth to Kenichi sometime after she and Kentaro married, and when Kenichi was about twelve years old, Hattori stumbled upon the Mitsuba's home. Hattori used to call Taeko "Aunty", although he started to call her "mom" in later episodes. Taeko also appeared in an episode of Doraemon in one of Doraemon's dreams.

Quotes[]

  • "Kenichi! Whom are you talking to?" (first line)
  • "Kenichi! What are these marks? Tomorrow is a Sunday so you're not going anywhere, you will sit at home and study for the entire day got it!" (Taeko scolding Kenichi)

Skills[]

  • Cooking: Taeko Mitsuba is a good cook, and is the family chef, though occasionally, Hattori, Tsubame, and even terrible Kentaro Mitsuba step in at times.
