Mrs. Yamada

Mrs. Yamada (山田さん, Yamada-san) is the unnamed deceased mother of Tae Yamada. She was a folklorist from Saga University who works together with her husband.

After she finds a strange child during one of her investigations, she spends most of the day researching and raising it. Unaware of the danger it can represent.

Appearance
She is a young-looking lady with a normal build. She is wearing a light colored sweater along with a long skirt. When she is in college, she wears a lab coat. Her black hair is long and straight, similar to Tae's as an adult.

Personality
She is a lady dedicated to her work with her husband and is almost obsessed with investigating a strange creature she found long ago. For this reason, her investigation led her to distance herself from Tae and leave her alone at home for most of the day. But this does not prevent him from forgetting about her daughter, and when they are at home they spend time with her so that she does not feel alone.

Chapter 12
One day at work, she found a baby-like creature somewhere in Saga. Along with her husband, Mr. Yamada, she spends most of her time in the labs at the university researching and experimenting on the creature. It is as if they are obsessed with the child.

On Tae's birthday, she sees a stuffed rabbit on the way home and buys it as a birthday present for Tae. They mention that the rabbit looks like the child they're working on, which makes Tae mad at them because they only think about her research and “that” creature.

A few hours later, government employees from her health department intercept her and her husband for conducting unauthorized research on unknown creatures. She resists and tries to convince them that the creature is just a child and does not pose any risk. Seconds later, the “harmless” child transforms into a giant spider-like Sagako, ending her life, her husband's, and the people who surrounded her.
