Otome Rokudō is the legendary “Death God Maiden” of the Rokudo family, once adored for her exceptional abilities in the afterlife. Despite her youthful and beautiful appearance, her true age is just two years younger than Tamako, her mother-in-law. She is the biological mother of Rinne Rokudo and was long thought to have abandoned her family out of disappointment in her husband Sabato Rokudo. In reality, a comedic twist of fate led to her accidental reincarnation through the Wheel of Reincarnation, causing her to repeatedly reincarnate and live new lives, currently as an elementary school girl named Ichigo. Despite losing her original memories at first, she gradually regains them, demonstrating lingering care for her son and family. Her history is marked by quirky family dynamics, deep regret over leaving her son, and her unique, often hilarious relationship with Sabato, all while maintaining an enduring maternal love.

She is the wife of Sabato Rokudo, daughter-in-law to Tamako, and Rinne Rokudo's biological mother.
She once lied about her age, claiming to be older than Sabato, which eventually caused much chaos in her family life.
Originally thought to have left out of disappointment with her husband, her actual disappearance was due to a comical accident.
As a platinum-licensed death god, Otome was considered a top-tier shinigami.
She is proficient in shinigami techniques and tools, and even after reincarnation, she retains some skills when her memories return.
Otome is Sabato Rokudo's wife, Tamako's daughter-in-law, and the loving mother of Rinne Rokudo.
She shared a lively, sometimes contentious yet loving relationship with Sabato, full of playful banter and affection.
She deeply regrets leaving Rinne behind as a child and, even as Ichigo, tries to care for him in small yet meaningful ways, such as giving allowances.

Otome also maintains a friendly relationship with Sakura Mamiya, often spending time with her when Rinne is absent.
The Legend of the Death God Maiden
Otome built a reputation in the afterlife as a highly skilled and beautiful shinigami, holding one of the rarest licenses.
The Age Falsification and Disappearance
Initially, she pretended to be older than Sabato to maintain a desirable image.
When Sabato later found her school graduation album, Otome tried to destroy it to prevent her real age from being discovered.
On her way to dispose of the album at the River Styx, she was accidentally swept into the Wheel of Reincarnation by a stampede of wildebeest spirits, beginning her cycle of unintended reincarnations.
Life as Ichigo
Otome is presently living as "Ichigo," a first-grade human girl, with a loving household and new parents.
She eventually regains her memories as Otome and resumes using shinigami tools when needed, particularly to help Rinne and Sakura with spirits.
Family Dynamics and Regret
Although her life as Ichigo is content, she feels deep remorse for not being by Rinne's side during his childhood.
She tries to compensate for this by offering care and support in little ways as Ichigo.
Both Otome and Sabato acknowledge that a romantic reunion is impossible in their new situations, but the affection endures.
Otome and the Truth of Her Disappearance
Contrary to what Rinne believed, Otome never left out of disappointment with Sabato—she was simply caught in an accident while attempting to hide her age.
Her close friendship with Tamako, who is nearly her age, surprises the family but further highlights the unique kinship in the Rokudo household.
- Otome is the only one to ever successfully deceive the famously tricky Sabato.
- In shinigami society, age differences are taken lightly, and Otome’s age antics are humorous rather than scandalous.
- Despite losing her original memories as Ichigo, she ultimately recovers all of them and resumes her shinigami duties when needed.
