Saki Arima

Saki Arima is a supporting character of the Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso series. She was the wife of Takahiko Arima and the mother of Kousei Arima. Saki was a well-known pianist across Japan before her death, that severely affected Kousei's playing style for the next two years, because of the way she treated Kousei in his past. Saki has shoulder-length brown hair and dark eyes. She was either depicted with no eyes at all or she has brown eyes. In some parts, she is seen with nasal canulla used to deliver supplemental oxygen for her illness and she is usually seen sitting in a wheelchair. Although Saki was strict, harsh, and horribly abusive towards Kousei Arima, it came from a place of misguided love. While Kousei believed she hated him after he wished her dead and imagined her ghost taunting and punishing him for his wish, he realised that it was all in his head and his mother loved him very much. Before her death, she was shown to fret over whether Kousei would get hurt or manage to make a living.
