History
Mrs. Ikeda was a very loving mother who took care of both of her children. She seemed to be a very kind, well-liked woman who spent a lot of quality time with her children. One day, she got into a small argument with her daughter Mayu after missing her open house. Mayu stormed out and Mrs. Ikeda assumed Mayu had gone to the neighbor's as she normally had. She later went to the grocery store, and on her way back, some people told her that her apartment was on fire. She hurried home and went inside, saving Satoru from dying in the fire. She did not know that her daughter had hidden in the closet, and thus she only saved Satoru. When she learned that Mayu had still been in the apartment, she took complete responsibility and blamed herself. Her son Satoru went into a coma after the fire, and six months passed with no improvement on his condition. Most of her son's friends stopped visiting because each time someone visited, something bad would happen (thanks to Mayu's vengeful spirit).

Mayu Arc
Sōta Higurashi was one of the boys who continued to visit Satoru. Late one evening, after telling Kagome Higurashi of the story behind Mayu's death, they both heard a noise from Satoru's room in the hospital. They ran to his room and this is where Mrs. Ikeda saw the ghost of her deceased daughter for the first time. Her daughter knocked her out, and Mrs. Ikeda awoke later to some of the nurses informing her that Satoru had finally woken up. When she saw her son, he immediately told her that Mayu was hiding from her in their closet. Later the next day, she returned to the burned down remains of her old apartment. Here, she saw the ghost of her daughter again, and she gave Mayu her forgiveness and they made amends before Mayu moved on.
