Iwako is a character from GeGeGe no Kitaro. She is Medama Oyaji's wife and Kitaro's mother. (The person on the left of the main image)
She is a female member of the Ghost Tribe, and was the last confirmed female member of the Ghost Tribe, other than the Amami clan, during her lifetime (the status of the Sea Ghost Tribe is unknown). Although the exact details are unknown, at least in terms of his position, he was also a legitimate survivor of the Ghost Clan's imperial family. Kitaro's mother and Medama Oyaji's real wife. She died of an illness while still pregnant with Kitaro, and Kitaro was born from her buried corpse. It is unknown whether Yukihime is Iwako's biological mother, but Medama Oyaji and Kitaro had no doubts after seeing the pedigree certified by King Enma, so there is a high possibility that Yukihime is also Iwako's biological daughter. Although his mother's name does not appear in the works depicting the time of Kitaro's birth, her name Iwako is revealed in the final episode of the original story ``Hell-hen'', ``The Last Encounter'', and in the live-action movie ``Millennium Curse Song''. In the final episode of the fourth anime, the mother's soul appears in the form of a butterfly. He rescued Kitaro and his son from the trap of the Grim Reaper and the Hi clan's shrine maiden.
