tomoko higashikata is a fiesty woman with a real soft spot for a man she once knew. she's 37 in 1999, having been 21 when she met joseph. she can become quite emotional/angry depending on the context in which the father of her son is brought up, as after all the time apart she believes she still loves joseph and that he will come back. tomoko is generally a firey personality in other areas- don't get on her bad side. tomoko loves josuke more than anything, but will by no means smother him.
