Nishiki Ikumatsu
Qotd


Nishiki Ikumatsu (錦 幾松) is the owner of the Hokuto Shinken ramen shop. She was first introduced when Katsura Kotarou worked and being on the run from the Shinsengumi.[1] She's the daughter of Nishiki Matsugorou.

Background[]

Ikumatsu and her parents lived in poverty until they started a successful clothing business. One day, her father saved a young boy from drowning on a river, who turns out to be Daigo (Ikumatsu's future husband). However, Matsugorou lost his memories and married another woman, leaving his wife and daughter behind. Her mother knew the truth, but choose not to tell Ikumatsu. Years later, Matsugorou is found by Daigo who takes him to his ramen shop in an attempt to repay the debt of saving his life.

Ikumatsu and her husband intended to turn their ramen shop into one that would be the best in Edo, but due to the sudden death of her husband by Jouishishi terrorists, they were unable to succeed.

Appearance[]

Ikumatsu has blonde hair with dark blue eyes. Typically dressed in a pair of light grey working overalls, her ash-blonde hair is usually tied back in a ponytail while she single-handedly runs the ramen shop.

Personality[]

After Daigo passed away, Ikumatsu came to hold a deep grudge against the Jouishishi, as the event was one that continued to sprinkle salt onto such scars; but other than that, she is a kind, wise and deeply caring soul. Ikumatsu was quick to lend a helping hand to Katsura, even though she knew he was being chased down by the Shinsengumi, citing her reason being that the man was wounded.

Not only did she hide a fugitive in her ramen shop, but she also allowed him to work there, showing just how trusting Ikumatsu can be.

  • Nishiki Matsugoro: Her father who "abandoned" his wife and daughter.

However, Katsura, who had worked as a waiter in her shop to hide from the Shinsengumi, eventually came to her rescue. They were able to thank each other before Katsura departed, still on the run from the police force.
