A gorilla lady who works as director of marketing at Retsuko's company. She is also a friend of Retsuko.

A Komodo dragon who is a senior to Retsuko in the accounting department. She is highly condescending and is implied to enjoy watching others fail. Much like Ton, she frequently pushes her extra work onto Retsuko.

Retsuko looks exactly like her mother, but their opinions on Retsuko's life are very different. The typical cynical mom, she judges everything about Retsuko, from her lack of a romantic relationship to her inability to keep a clean home. Forcing Retsuko into an arranged marriage does nothing but to push Retsuko further away from a functional relationship with her.
