Reiko is a kind, caring and humble woman who wanted to live in a normal family. She is often concerned for her daughter's well-being and often apologizes on her daughter's behalf.

Initially, Reiko's daughter Maria Amabuki sees her as a spineless weakling as she is no longer the tough biker gang boss she used to be. However, when Reiko confronts Saki Nikaido after riding her motorcycle off a cliff, she shows Maria that just because she is no longer a gang boss doesn't mean she's weak.

As a former motorcycle gang, she is able to display a more courageous and fierce personality that she had rarely expressed unless angered. As a former leader of a motorcycle gang, it is suggested that she also had leadership social skills, there are still traces of the old delinquent in her as she still has her old motorcycle and speaks harshly again when she is really angry. She fondly remembers her friend Saki and misses her, thinking about how Saki would think of her now.

Even when she was the leader of Dorami, she told Saki that she finally wanted to settle down and have a normal life, as her parents were divorced and she didn't want her own children to go through it.
