Mama Higurashi is the understanding mother of Souta and Kagome Higurashi. There's no information on what her actual name is as no one ever mentions her name. Her kids call her Mama, so she is known as Mama Higurashi.

If there's been little information available about Mama Higurashi, there's been even less made known about her husband. The only information ever offered about her husband is that he proposed to her under the The Go-Shin-Boku. Though in the manga it mentions that he died in a car accident.

She's full of unending support when it comes to her kids—especially Kagome. She's the one that cooks things to pack for Kagome when she takes her trips into the past. She even gave Kagome a bike to help get around when she is in the feudal era.
