Sakurai Youko, Sakurai Sho’s mother
Her 天然 moments according to Sho:
- When Sho was getting all 4 wisdom teeth pulled with complete anesthesia, she told him, by his bedside before going into the surgery room, “Thanks for being with us for so long…” which weirded out Sho.
- When Sho was a child, Sho tore up a gaming manual and pissed her off. She chased Sho down a road to beat him, mounted on him, and Sho begged for mercy.
- When Sho showed her his belly button ring for the first time, she said: “Ah so that’s what a belly button ring looks like” and turned away continue to do whatever she was doing.
*Quote 1 and 2 from Oshyareism 08/08/24
*Ms. Sakurai is indeed a professor of Komazawa University. Its official website provides her brief CV: http://www.komazawa-u.ac.jp/gakubu/bun/japanese/contents/kyouin.html
*The term medieval literature, 中世文学, further verifies that this picture is her. I’m all for respecting privacy in terms of anyone’s family business, but such achievement is already publicized. She is an author and co-author of many books and theses with the specialty of medieval lit.
