Description
Keiko Ikawa, the eldest sibling in the Igawa family, resides with her mother Yoshiko, younger brother Tsuyoshi, and younger sister Noriko. She boasts notable academic achievements, ranking among the top students in her class and enjoying significant popularity at school. Possessing conventionally beautiful traits like pale skin and long black hair, she attracts romantic attention from many male characters.
Despite her academic prowess, Keiko displays considerable domestic incompetence, struggling with basic cooking, cleaning, and operating everyday devices. This forces her to rely heavily on Tsuyoshi for household chores. She frequently subjects him to unprovoked verbal and physical mistreatment, including berating him, grabbing him by the ear, or hitting him hard enough to send him flying, rarely acknowledging his efforts.
Keiko exhibits a pronounced tendency towards alcoholism, regularly returning home from bars in an extremely intoxicated state, leading to recurring comedic incidents like accidentally taking bus stops. She openly declares a dislike for children but maintains polite public interactions with them to avoid hurting their feelings and exhibits a specific fear of cats. Her personality features a volatile temper, condescending remarks, and a general lack of patience. However, consistent exposure to Tsuyoshi's kindness and unwavering support gradually lessens her harsh treatment of him.
In romantic relationships, Keiko is pursued by multiple suitors, including Yoshihito Sagino, Tsukasa Watanabe, and Officer Jun. She eventually marries Yoshihito Sagino. Yoshihito, characterized by obesity and an unassuming appearance contrasting with Keiko's attractiveness, possesses hidden depths such as graduating from the prestigious Tokyo University; their marriage represents a significant development in Keiko's storyline.
Keiko's character evolves across the series. Beginning as antagonistic and dismissive towards her brother, her experiences lead to a reduction in her bullying behavior. Her marriage to Yoshihito marks a key resolution in her personal arc.
