A shy, pretty, young lady who considers dogs her brothers and sisters.  She promptly fell in love with Mitaka when they met in &quot;omiai&quot;, although Mitaka had an allergic reaction.  She was initially worried about the relation between Mitaka and Kyoko.  Asuna&#039;s family name, Kujō, means &quot;Ninth Avenue&quot; in Kyoto, and implies that she is a member of the ancient aristocratic Fujiwara clan.  Kujō is a homophone for Cujo, Stephen King&#039;s infamous demon dog, but it is unclear whether Rumiko Takahashi intended this as a pun.

Maison Ikkoku is a romantic comedy series created by Rumiko Takahashi. The story centers around the development of the relationship between Kyoko Otonashi and Yusaku Godai. Kyoko is a recent widow who moves into the apartment house Ikkoku-kan where she becomes the manager. Godai is a wanna-be student ("ronin") struggling with college entrance exams. 
When they meet, it's love at first sight&mdash;for Godai anyway. Along the way, the other tentants, the mysterious Yotsuya, the seemingly alcoholic Ichinose, and the brash Akemi, watch and occasionally take part to make their lives more interesting. To complicate matters further, the wealthy tennis coach Shun Mitaka has his eye on Kyoko, while Godai is pursued by both Nanao Kozue and Ibuki Yagami. Covering a wide range of emotions from hysterically funny to painfully sad, Maison Ikkoku&mdash;all 96 episodes&mdash;is well worth seeing.

Hiromi Tsuru was a Japanese actress, voice actress and narrator. She died from aortic dissection.

She was married to [Keiichi Nanba](https://anilist.co/staff/96026) from 1986 until they divorced in 1990.

Travel into Japan's nuttiest apartment house and meet its volatile inhabitants: Kyoko, the beautiful and mysterious new apartment manager; Yusaku, the exam-addled college student; Mrs. Ichinose, the drunken gossip; Kentaro, her bratty son; Akemi, the boozy bar hostess; and the mooching and peeping Mr. Yotsuya. Funny, touching, and a tad off-kilter, Maison Ikkoku is the great Rumiko Takahashi at her very best.
