Ikuko Tsukino

Ikuko Tsukino is the mother of Usagi Tsukino in the present. She appears as a minor character in Pretty Soldier Sailor Stellar.

Appearance
She doesn't have the same kind of hair as Usagi or Shingo. Instead, she has long dark blue (sometimes portrayed as light purple) and curly hair which she wears in a half loose ponytail and short bangs similar to her daughters. She is always seen wearing a yellow turtleneck and long orange skirt with a white apron on top.

Etymology
The name Ikuko means "education" (育) (iku) and "child" (子) (ko). Ikuko's surname Tsukino means "moon" (月) (tsuki) and "field, wilderness" (野) (no).

Trivia

 * In the Sailor Moon manga, Usagi Tsukino notes that "in all her 36 years, Ikuko-mama has never gotten a cavity". This confirms that Ikuko's age is 36 (towards the end of the manga). In the beginning she was probably 34-35 years old.
