Michiko Kite, mother of protagonist Eiichi Kite and wife of Eitarō Kite, strictly prioritizes her son's academic studies over his inventive activities. This consistent emphasis compels Eiichi to conceal his creations and experiments to avoid her disapproval. An incident in the original manga demonstrates her unwavering focus on conventional education: fearing the Kiteretsu Encyclopedia distracts Eiichi from schoolwork, Michiko discards it. Though partially recovered later, this action underscores her singular dedication to scholarly achievement. Her role remains defined by this parental concern across all documented media.
