Moe's mother
Japanese Name	かあちゃん, Kaachan
Species	Clam
Family	Kyorozou (ex-husband) Moe and his siblings (children)
First Appearance	Densetsu no Starfy 2 (Staff Roll 2)
Latest Appearance	The Legendary Starfy (reference in 'Soaking in the Victory')

Moe's mother is the mother of Moe and his siblings. After falling out with Moe's father, she and her children separated from him and moved from a house into a cave that was smaller and less accommodating. She has the same shell color as Moe as seen in photograph in Moe's House in Densetsu no Starfy 3 and Densetsu no Starfy 4.

Some time after Moe's mother moved into the cave with Moe, she became ill and presumably died. This is backed up by Moe's mother appearing in the sky with Kyorozou, Ogura and the Puchi Ogura at the end of Densetsu no Starfy 3's Staff Roll 2.

Trivia

• She has never appeared in person.
• There is a reference to her in The Legendary Starfy in the Soaking in the Victory Story cartoon.
• She is unnamed in the games, much like her children except Moe. Moe refers to her as かあちゃん, or literally "Mother/Mom"
• In Densetsu no Starfy 4, when inspecting the picture of Moe's mother and father (simply called "Photo" in game) in Moe's House, Moe mentions that Kyorozou and his mother met while taking a walk in/near Lobber's Cave.
• Starfy 4 is the only game where she has a sprite (seen in the Photo in Moe's House), having what seems to be a flower (or some other pink object) on her shell.
• Moe and his mother are one of only a handful clams in the series that share a shell color. The other being one of Moe's siblings and Kyorozou.
