Mama Higurashi (ママ, "Mama") is the widowed mother of Kagome and Sota Higurashi. She is a very loving and caring mother just as one would expect of a motherly figure.
Little is known about her, except that she is always supportive of Kagome. Whenever Inuyasha drops by, she would welcome him to stay and ask him to dine with the family. She is very lax about Kagome's life, and does not seem to mind at all that her daughter spends long periods of time with strangers in the distant past. How much of the situation she actually understands is debatable.
Her husband, the father of Kagome and Sota, is never shown or seen in the series. He is only briefly mentioned in the first movie of the InuYasha series, as Mama Higurashi tries to encourage Kagome when she senses that the situation is dire on the other side of the worm hole (she revealed he died in a car accident when Kagome and Sōta were young).
She could be referred to as either 'Mrs. Higurashi', 'Ms. Higurashi', and Mama Higurashi. Her real name was never revealed in either the manga or the anime.
Mama Higurashi is very flexible with her daughter's situation: this includes her constant journeys throughout the feudal era, her relationship with the hanyō named Inuyasha (who supposedly has a rough nature), her fights against deadly demons and her quest to recover the Shikon Jewel.
