Kyoko Ishimura is the diminutive Japanese housekeeper of the Dakota apartment kept by Aloysius Pendergast. Miss Ishimura is a small and petite woman of unknown age whose first language is Japanese, although she understands English well. Her tasks for Pendergast include cooking and cleaning. Among her specialties are fish intestine soup and Pendergast favorites mozuku (a slimy seaweed dish) and shiokara (a paste of fermented, salted fish meat and organs). Pendergast seems to have hired her because her physical handicaps fit well with his intense need for privacy. She resides in her own set of rooms within the Dakota apartment.
