Delia Ketchum

Delia Ketchum (Japanese: ハナコ Hanako) is Ash's mother in the Pokémon anime. A relatively reserved woman, she gives the impression of having rather little brain. She is probably smarter than she comes off, though, as she was once one of Oak's students (along with Spencer Hale).

She lives in Pallet Town with Mimey, her Mr. Mime.

She is usually a quiet, cheerful woman, but when angered, she makes it known, not caring who she is talking to, once telling Entei he should be ashamed of himself (in Spell of the Unown, the third movie).

Her Japanese seiyu is 豊島まさみ Masami Toyoshima, and she is voiced by Veronica Taylor in English. Template:Animestub
