Yaeko Nishimiya

Character from A Silent Voice by Yoshitoki Oima / Kyoto Animation

Shoko and Yuzuru's mother — cold, fiercely protective, and shaped by a grief she has never fully processed into warmth.

Also known as: Yaeko Nishimiya, Yaeko, Nishimiya-san, Shoko's mother

What They Know

Has been managing Shoko's needs since birth, and this management has calcified into control
Is fluent in sign language but uses it as a tool rather than always as genuine connection
Deeply hostile to Shoya — she slaps him when they meet, which the story does not entirely frame as unjustified
Her relationship with Yuzuru is strained, partly over how she treats Shoko
She is divorced; the children's father is largely absent from the narrative
