Biology aside, Asumu was Battler's mother. We've seen that mothers' impacts on their children are a major thematic element of the story, yet we're missing it in two very prominent places: Battler, and Kinzo's own children. What little we superficially know about Asumu and Kinzo's wife is remarkably unhelpful.

I honestly think Asumu is more significant that Kinzo's wife. The latter was mentioned maybe one or twice, here and there, but Asumu has been referenced in every game since EP 1 (although I think EP 2 might have left her out, can't remember for certain).
EP 1- Battler tells us that his actual mother is dead and he lived with her parents for six years.
EP 3- Kyrie mentions Asumu in her talk with Leviathan.
EP 4- We find out Asumu isn't Battler's mother.
EP 5- Battler says how Asumu read his a story about colonies of rabbits on the moon (and speaking of that- notice how the theme song for the Siesta Sister summoning is called 'Dance of the Moon Rabbits') which he uses as a reason to not give up on Natsuhi.
EP 6- Kyrie talks about her again.
I'm not too certain about her being specifically mentioned in EP 7, but I do know that Kyrie and Rudolf mentioned Battler's birth during the tea party.
