Yuzuko

Yuzuko is a young girl from the slums of the 23d Ward of Tokyo. During the story, she went into the fearsome Department Store to seek out a new watch for her father after he had lost his previous one in an explosion while trying to protect her. The watch's importance is due to that it was the last gift crafted by her mother (a skilled artist) before she died and Yuzuko wished to replace it as she felt it was her fault her father lost the watch trying to protect her, despite that he was more happy with his daughter being safe.
