Shuuko Komi is a supporting character from the Japanese romance comedy anime and manga series, Komi Can't Communicate. She is the mother of Shouko Komi, one of the two main protagonists of the series, and her younger brother Shousuke Komi, the wife of Masayoshi Komi, daughter in law of Yuiko Komi, sister in law of Sadayoshi Komi, and aunt of Akira Komi. Within the Komi family she is the only one who both has the capability and desire to communicate with others, so she does almost all of the talking, which results in much of her humor in the series.
She is voiced by Kikuko Inoue in Japanese and Dorothy Elias-Fahn in English.
Personality
Shuuko Komi has an extremely bubbly and outgoing personality. She's an extrovert in every sense of the word, which is a good thing because she's the only member of her family that has both the ability and the desire to communicate with others, so she's the only one who does almost all of the talking. Because of that, the mood of a scene often changes drastically when she arrives. She loves her family very much, and has no shame or hesitation in showing it. And while, like many parents, she does unintentionally embarrass Komi around her new friends, she's also skilled at judging the atmosphere and is capable and wiling of backing off when she's having a good moment with her friends, especially with Tadano. It's for this reason that fans have theorized that she is always able to do this and knows she's embarrassing Komi, and does it intentionally as a way to test her in social situations, although this is unconfirmed in the series itself.
When she was a teenager herself, during the time that she met her husband, Masayoshi Komi, she was very different from the present day; she was actually a Kuudere back then, which is a character archetype where a character is often cold, blunt, and cynical. They may seem very emotionless and stoic on the outside, but on the inside, they’re very caring, at least when it comes to the ones they love. It seems to be her interactions with Masayoshi that caused her to come out of her shell and allowed her to evolve her personality to the extreme extent that she has.
