'''Anju's Mother''' appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', and is a middle-aged, rounded woman. When she hears that [[Kafei]] has disappeared a month before his wedding to [[Anju]], she resents him for having hurt her daughter the way that she herself was hurt, for it seems that Anju's Mother's husband also vanished from her life. <ref name="Lonely quote">{{Cite|It's foolish to believe a man like that. I too believed my husband would return out of the blue...Oh, Anju... That child's naive sense of trust may be my fault.|Anju's Mother|Majora's Mask}}</ref>

==Cutscene==
There is an obscure cutscene that may be witnessed on the Second Night, at 9:30pm. If [[Link]] is in the rented room, by pressing A on the ruined part of the wallpaper at this time, the player will witness a scene in which Anju's mother expresses her belief that Kafei has run off with [[Romani and Cremia#Cremia|Cremia]], and that waiting for him will result in nothing. Anju insists that in Kafei's letter he promised to return, but Anju's mother insists in forgetting about the letter and that she should just try to survive. <ref>{{Cite|Forget about that letter.
