Minato's Mother is the woman who raised Minato in her previous life. She was a devout believer in a new Christian‑based religion and often took Minato to church, forcing her to pray. She was killed by Minato's father before Minato herself was murdered, as recalled when Minato thinks about the events leading to her reincarnation. Her religious influence gave Minato a distaste for insincere prayer, but also provided some structure in an otherwise abusive household. Despite her devotion, she could not protect herself or her daughter from the father's violence. She is a tragic background figure whose death contributed to the collapse of Minato's family and set the stage for Minato's own death and subsequent reincarnation.
