Tanda, who played the good "wife" and "mother" to Balsa and Chagum.
Most of the anime was completely original, significantly padding out the first volume of the
Moribito series of novels on which it was based. So, credit for the interesting take on the main characters' relationships must go to director
Kenji Kamiyama, who scripted all 26 episodes of the anime.
