Ueki, Haruko
Summary
Haruko serves as Ueki’s adoptive mother, having died in a car accident on the exact same day that Ueki arrived on Earth. Her history with the divine is significant, as she was the first person the newly elected God encountered during his initial trip to Earth twenty years prior, back when she was still a high school student. There is an intriguing connection to her husband, Gengoro; her maiden surname is also Ueki, and she once mentioned having a boyfriend who was a writer, mirroring Gengoro’s profession. This coincidence suggests several possibilities: she might be related to her husband, the shared surname could be a mere coincidence, she may have lied about being single and was already married, or Gengoro may have adopted her surname after their union, a practice not uncommon in Japan. Visually, her daughter bears a striking resemblance to her, with the only notable difference being that Haruko styles her hair in a ponytail.
