Take Ichijōin is the mother of the protagonist, Lili Ichijōin, in the anime Love Through a Prism. She is from Yokohama, Japan, and is involved in the family’s kimono-making business. Her role in the story is primarily defined by the ultimatum she gives her daughter, which serves as the central conflict that drives the plot forward. She gives Lili six months to become the top student at the Saint Thomas Art Academy in London; if Lili fails, she must return home to abandon her artistic dreams, get married, and eventually inherit the family kimono business. This demand establishes Take as the primary obstacle to Lili’s personal and artistic ambitions. Her motivations are rooted in tradition and familial duty, seeking to ensure the continuation of the family’s legacy and a stable future for her daughter. While she does not appear as a main character, her off-screen pressure is a constant influence on Lili’s decisions and her desperate drive to succeed at the academy. Her key relationship is with her daughter, Lili, and she is the personification of the expectations from home that Lili is trying to outrun. The character does not have a significant developmental arc within the story, as her function is to provide the initial and ongoing stakes for the protagonist’s journey. There is no information regarding notable abilities for this character.
