Before the start of the series, around thirty years ago, Mitsuyo was born with her twin sister named Yukiyo (or Kirika). They both got married and soon Mitsuyo was pregnant with twins. Those twins are revealed to be Mei and Misaki. Yukiyo also became pregnant, but she lost the little girl, leaving her devastated. At that time, the Fujioka family was experiencing financial difficulties. Because of this and the fact that Yukiyo was still trying to cope with the loss, Mei was given to her. After this, Misaki needed a kidney transplant. The giver was Mitsuyo herself. This information is never revealed in the anime.
