Hakufu is Goei's biological daughter. Goei is often angered by Hakufu's actions and small-minded ways, that she punishes her with spankings, additional chores, or at the worst case, withholding food from her. Alhough they argue most of the time, Goei has a really strong connection with Hakufu, and cares a great deal for her, as a mother should. This was shown in the story when Toutaku placed a cursed seal on Hakufu that would eventually kill her. At that time Goei showed her true motherly love towards Hakufu, as she cried and was even frightened at what might happen to her if Hakufu was not able to find a cure.
