Tenacious, gutsy, and spiritually strong, she has raised the small Ryuji, playing the dual role of mother and older sister. Following the death of her father Go, she helped her single mother Chiyo and her little brother bear the harassment of Tomizo, her stepfather. She fled from their home along with Ryuji, trains him in boxing, and spurs him on in an attempt to make a champion. Kenzaki thinks she is a genius of boxing, and the sentiment is mutual, as is the affection the two have for one another, which later became love, bringing them to the altar. Ishimatsu is submissive to her authority and beauty, and is crazy about her; Takako Kawai fears her, perhaps more than Ryuji, challenging her and ending up losing. It is no coincidence that, in times of difficulty, people rely on her. Takehiko Sanjo and Dr. Ohmura, who had accepted her for charity, discover that she is a great worker. Kiku is not, in short, a person who goes unnoticed.
