Ms. Higurashi

is the widowed mother of Kagome and Sōta Higurashi. She is very loving and caring, just as one would expect of a motherly figure.

Later Life
She attended of her daughter's graduation at high school. After that, she asked Kagome what's wrong and she along with her daughter saw the sky in the Bone-Eater's Well as she let her to live with Inuyasha in the Feudal Era. She shouted to Sōta welcome home and dinner's ready.

She saw Osamu Kirin to visit the Higurashi shrine, and tells him that if it's about Towa, then see Sōta at his apartment, but Osamu said no that he comes for a visit.

Personality
Little was known about her, except that she was always supportive of Kagome. Whenever Inuyasha dropped by, she would welcome him to stay and asked him to dine with the family. She was very lax about Kagome's life, and did not seem to mind at all that her daughter spent long periods of time with strangers in the distant past. How much of the situation she actually understood was debatable.

Her husband, the father of Kagome and Sōta, was never shown or seen in the series. He was only briefly mentioned in the first film, when she tried to encourage Kagome, sensing that the situation was dire on the other side of the well (she revealed he died in a car accident when Kagome and Sōta were young).

Ms. Higurashi was very flexible with her daughter's situation, including her journey throughout the Feudal Era, her relationship with the hanyō named Inuyasha (who had a rough nature), her fights against deadly demons, and her quest to recover the Sacred Jewel.

Physical description
Ms. Higurashi is a woman with pale skin. She has short curly dark brown hair and brown eyes.

In Hanyō no Yashahime, she has gray streaks in her hair.

Relationships
Much was not known about Mr. Higurashi and Ms. Higurashi's relationship, but they were married after he proposed to her at the Goshinboku. Together they had two children, Kagome and Sōta. They had obviously been very happy and in love before Mr. Higurashi passed away in a car accident that claimed his life.
 * Mr. Higurashi

Ms. Higurashi and Kagome were rather close to one another, and she always seemed to know when something was wrong with her daughter. She was also often seen or talked about doing many things to make her daughter's life just a little bit easier. In the end, she let her daughter marry Inuyasha and spend her life in the Feudal Era so that she could be happy. She had a profound understanding of her daughter's feelings, to the point where she could instantly sense the mounting relationship between her daughter and her future son-in-law, Inuyasha, offering her emotional support to both of them whenever they needed it. Overall, Ms. Higurashi was very in tune with her daughter's emotional needs, doing whatever she could to ease Kagome's complicated lot in life.
 * Kagome Higurashi

Ms. Higurashi and Sōta did not spend as much time together as she and Kagome did, but it appears like Sōta could be described as a "mama's boy" when Ms. Higurashi lightly teased him for wetting the bed in the 3rd grade. They appeared to have a basic mother-son relationship, and loved each other very much.
 * Sōta Higurashi

Ms. Higurashi and Inuyasha seemed to get along very well, even though during their first meeting, she felt the need to play with his ears (much like Kagome the first time she saw him). She often treated him as if he were her own son, welcoming him for meals when he came to fetch Kagome, and providing her daughter with a plethora of medicine from the Modern Era to help treat his wounds. However, being no fool, she always ensured that Inuyasha kept his dog ears covered in the Modern Era to keep him from revealing his secret of being a hanyō to modern humans. She seemed to sense that he had been long without a mother, and cared deeply for him as her daughter did. She could also probably sense that Kagome was in love with him and supported having him around so Kagome could be happy.
 * Inuyasha

Ms. Higurashi and Grandpa had a very good relationship; although he was her late husband's father, she treated him as if he was her own father.
 * Grandpa Higurashi


 * Moroha

She appeared to be very discerning, instantly recognizing the brash young quarter-demon as her maternal granddaughter. She appears to adore Moroha, seeing a great deal of her beloved daughter and son-in-law in her.


 * Towa Higurashi

She cares a great deal about her adoptive granddaughter, worrying for her safety during the thugs' assault on Higurashi shrine, even while being held captive.

She felt surprised that Towa had a sister from the Feudal Era.
