Reiko Amabuki
She was a turn when she was Dorami's boss. Although she is now a normal housewife, she still has her old motorcycle and has not lost her riding skills.

Before his proper introduction in Episode 9, he makes an appearance in Episode 5 in Saki's flashback to their old motorcycle gang days.

Reiko might be a stay at home mom now, but her brief motorcycle ride shows that she still has some power behind her. However, instead of fighting the rival gang, she begs them to stop, as an actual fight would risk her daughter's life.

After Saki repeats the trick that killed her, Reiko punches her in the face and yells at her for being an idiot as she was there when Saki died and she still has painful memories of when it happened.

As Saki told Maria, just because she became a law-abiding housewife doesn't mean she has lost the value of her days as a motorcyclist.

Appearance
Reiko is an adult woman with black eyes and purple hair tied in a ponytail that hangs close to her shoulder. She is usually seen wearing a pink shirt under an apron in a darker shade of pink and dark gray pants.

In her youth, her hair was longer with two highlights of pink and different shades of purple, while the front of her hair was tied back in a long ponytail. He wore the traditional Dorami biker outfit

Personality
Initially, her daughter Maria 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 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.

Reiko is a humble, kind and caring person 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.

As a former motorcycle gang, he is able to display a more courageous and fierce personality that he had rarely expressed unless he was angry. 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.
