History
Rinko Iori is Sei's mother and the Iori model shop manager. However, she is not familiar much about Gunpla model and relying on Sei for the Gundam in particular. When Reiji appeared, she allowed him to stay at her house and cooked him lots of yasai itame. She chaperoned the children to the seaside and mountain inn but did not not join them when they headed for the World Tournament.
Alongside China, she cheered Sei and Reiji until China went to physically join them. Rinko did the same just as her husband came to visit her at the shop. Rinko continued to avidly cheer the children on and gave Aila permission to stay at her house after learning about her situation.
