Kaede Domyoji is the mother of Tsukasa and Tsubaki. She is a powerful, rich and an extremly cold business woman, owner of her own international hotel line and Domyoji Enterprises. Kaede works and lives mainly in New York, and she never bothered to raise her children. She is not interested in other peoples feelings. Everything should be exactly as she planned. Once a year she comes home to Japan to celebrate the birthday of her son Tsukasa—the heir of the family fortune.
