Honoka Kawai serves as Sasami Kawai's mother in the television series and co-owns CD Vision, a video store adjoining their family residence. Her store management exhibits periods of neglect, including playing video games instead of assisting customers. This behavior contributes to declining sales, motivating her and husband Ginji to launch a special Pretty Sammy-themed event for business revitalization. Honoka and Ginji share profound mutual affection, frequently depicted embracing. Their emotional bond allows her to receive Ginji's love signals even when he is stranded on a distant deserted island. She occasionally displays jealousy, exemplified by her uppercutting Ginji when he feigns a love confession to defeat the Love-love Monster "Break-Up Girl". The Bonus Theatre special "Secrets of the Kawai Family" details the residence layout, placing CD Vision on the first floor. Due to her video game preoccupation, Honoka implements a self-service payment system using a cash box, which further reduces sales. The special also uncovers a previously unknown basement housing a butler named Alfred and a "Sammy-Mobile". Baking is another activity; Washu awards one of her cakes 92 points. On a separate occasion, she prepares a large strawberry cake for Sasami. When Pretty Sammy attempts to leave without eating it, Honoka's near-tearful reaction compels her to stay and partake.
