~ [ Moeko Sakurada ] ~

Moeko Sakurada (桜田もえ子), is the 28 year old mother of Nene Sakurada (Nene-chan). She is easily irritated and bad temper, usually by Shin-chan, whom she despises, and Misae because she always seems to rub her the wrong way whenever they meet. She has a very strange way of expressing her anger; she beats up a very large stuffed rabbit (Happiness Bunny) when in private. Her psychologically-questionable behavior is sometimes seen by others (including her daughter Nene-chan), and those who see are usually very intimidated by Moeko (except, of course, for Shin-chan). When she's not angry, she looks like a normal person. Her abusive actions towards the Happiness Bunny stuffed doll was passed down from her mother, which she passed down to her child, Nene-chan.

Although Nene-chan might be immune to Shin-chan's shenanigans, her mother is a entirely different story. The few encounters that she has had with Shin-chan has left a rather deep impression on her -- somewhat like the impression that a sledgehammer would make. To give her some credit, she makes a superhuman effort to retain her composure whenever Shin-chan is around and or irritated heavily. This goes as far as to politely excuse herself, go to another room, and beat the stuffing out of Happiness Bunny. Unfortunately, venting her rage in this manner is almost completely useless when Shin-chan is concerned. She has lost complete control on more than one occasion and if the more recent times that she has lost control are any indication, she'll probably make some psychiatrist a very rich person. From what little has been seen of her husband, he doesn't appear to be in much better shape (plus he is terrified of bugs).

She's a red head, with a pink shirt and blue skirt. She always wears white panties with a pink bunny face on it.

If there is one thing that is her weakness; it's flirting or compliments. She can easily be flattered instantly when it comes to regarding her looks, one time her daughter complimented her for the sake of getting Happiness Bunny and Moeko fell for it and instantly got the bunny for her.

The Happiness Bunny stuffed doll was bought for Nene-chan as a gift, but ever since she took her anger out on the plush in front of Nene-chan, she buys other Happiness Bunny plushies in different colors and picks them out from the closet (the plushies are hung usually like clothes on a clothes hanger). When it comes to other mothers, she's secretly very competitive to show off as the most perfect family.

Just like Misae (Shin-chan's mother), practically her rival that she has a secret raging crush on, she has a big butt and is made of for it by Shin-chan and is heavily insecure about her butt size.

The doorstep of her house.
