Kyoko Otonashi

Kyōko Otonashi (音無響子, Otonashi Kyōko) (née Chigusa, 千草) is the main female protagonist of the Maison Ikkoku series. Initially presented as a 22-year-old young lady, she takes on the tough task of managing the broken-down boarding house, Maison Ikkoku. She lives in the manager's room (with no room number, a reference to the 無 in her name meaning "zero" or "null"). She is two years older than Godai and a widow, which are two of the many reasons she worries toward the end of the series about whether she will be accepted as his fiancée. At the end of the manga and anime, she is happily married to Yūsaku and is the mother to their daughter, Haruka.
