Michiko Arasaka (Saburo's wife)

Michiko Arasaka was Saburo's thrid and last wife. She married Saburo when he was in his 80s, before that Michiko was known as a very sophisticated and beautiful woman in Kyoto. Born into a wealthy family and studied at the highest leveled universities in Japan.

Michiko never cared much for the outside of the country and never left the country once, she loved Japan and wanted to see it advance after the damage done during WW2. After being introduced to Saburo Arasaka she was infatuated with his passion and determination in making Japan strong. Despite not knowing exactly the details of the Arasaka corporation, she believed Saburo was a noble man and married him a year after they had initially met.

Michiko never got along with Kei, Saburo's eldest son, due to him never being around long enough to know each other all that well. Yorinobu was only a child and was taken care of by the maid. Michiko wanted to have her own child, one that she could raise, and in March of 1999 Michiko gave birth to Hanako, Saburo's youngest child and only daughter. She died shortly thereafter due to complications caused by the birth. Saburo never remarried after her death since Michiko was his favorite wife and no woman could ever be better. Because of Kei being distant, Yorinobu being a baby, and Hanako just being born; none of the Saburo's kids ever really knew Michiko and she wasn't apart of the Arasaka corporation so her memory has been erased through time, only being remembered by Hanako and Saburo through photos.
