JULIA MURAI

Kunio Murai's young single mother, whose easy confidence instantly explains both her son's fierce loyalty and his absolute panic whenever Onizuka gets too friendly with her. Julia works hard, raises Kunio on her own, and refuses to be treated as fragile simply because she became a mother very young. Her appearances give Murai a life outside the classroom and reveal that much of his aggression comes from how intensely he wants to protect the person who raised him.
