Spy x Family is a hugely popular new anime series adapted from author Tatsuya Endo's ongoing manga series of the same name, set in a 1960s Cold War-inspired world where tensions between Westalis and Ostania have never been higher. In the middle of all this spy intrigue are the Forgers, a lovely found family with more than a few secrets.

This found family includes the adorable young telepath Anya, the slick Westalis spy Loid/Twilight, and most of all, the beloved Yor Forger, the mom of the family. Yor lives a double life as a foster mother and as the deadly Thorn Princess assassin, and she takes care not to mix up her two lives. In many ways, Yor Forger may remind Spy x Family fans of similar characters, such as doting moms, female warriors with a big heart, or anything in that vein.

10 Masaki Kurosaki Was A Quincy Mom (Bleach)

Masaki Kurosaki in Bleach.

Yor Forger is a lovable mom with secret powers, and the same is true of Ichigo Kurosaki's own mother, the late Masaki Kuroskai. She grew up as a human Quincy, or spiritually inclined archer, just like Ryuken Ishida. She nearly died when the Hollow called White attacked, but Captain Isshin Shiba saved her life.

The two of them were later married, and they had a son and two daughters together in the happy Kurosaki family. Later, the hidden King Yhwach stole Masaki's powers, which left her vulnerable when the vicious Hollow Grand Fisher attacked and slew her.

9 Inko Midoriya Is A Mom With Powers, Too (My Hero Academia)

Yor Forger should remind anime fans of a huge variety of mothers, aunts, and big sisters, and that includes protagonist Izuku Midoriya's own mother, Inko. She may lack Yor's assassination skills, but she does have a Quirk, and her son later acquired the unique One For All. That's no ordinary family.

The wonderful single mother Inko shares Yor's dedication to her child, and she worries nonstop about Izuku's well-being while also cheering him on. Similarly, Yor soon became highly protective of Anya and will attack anyone who even thinks about harming her.

8 Tomoko Higashikata Knows How To Fight (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Tomoko Higashikata may not have telepathy, a Quirk, or a Stand, but she can look after herself, just like Yor the assassin. Even if Tomoko isn't a trained killer, she can easily fend off punks and troublemakers with her bare hands.

Tomoko is more than tough, though. She is also a happy homemaker who cares deeply for her protagonist son Josuke and her police officer husband. And when a villain broke into her home, Tomoko didn't hesitate to grab a knife to defend herself. That's the Yor Forger way.

7 Kyoko Honda Is A Delinquent Turned Mom (Fruits Basket)

Kyoko Honda is yet another cool anime mom who is more than just a token parental figure. Like Yor Forger, Kyoko knows how to look after herself as a former delinquent and street punk, though she would much rather share heartfelt words of wisdom than throw a punch if she can help it.

Kyoko was highly protective of her sole daughter, the heroine Tohru Honda, who was like a better-behaved Anya in Kyoko's eyes. Both Yor and Kyoko would risk their very lives for their daughters, and that makes them some of anime's best mothers.

6 Tamako Yukihira Cooked For Her Family's Sake (Food Wars!)

Tamako Yukihira and her husband Joichiro both understood that however cliché or silly it may sound, love really is the secret ingredient in any worthwhile dish, no matter the chef's credentials or cooking style. Tragically, she passed away when her son Soma was a young boy, but her lessons lived on in him.

Just like Yor, Tamako is a skilled mom who is confident in her abilities, but to her, family comes first, and if everyone else is happy, then she is, too. Both of these moms are also known for their playful and goofy personalities, which makes them even easier to like.

5 Madoka Oze Is Loving But Tough (Fire Force)

Madoka Oze is only a minor character with brief appearances in the story of Fire Force, but this cool anime mom did make a strong impression all the same. Similar to Yor Forger, Madoka is a devoted mother and a loving wife, but she is no pushover.

Madoka wants the four Ozes to be polite and calm at the dinner table, and if anyone acts up, Madoka isn't afraid to act like a Yakuza boss's wife and demands that everyone settle down, or else. Her charming dual nature of sweet and tough should remind any fan of Yor Forger the assassin mom.

4 Ursa Is A Mom Who Knows Poisons (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Ursa is the bride of Fire Lord Ozai, though their parenting methods differ somewhat. While Ozai favored his powerful daughter Azula and scorned his son Zuko, Ursa doted on Zuko while being wary of her vicious daughter. Ursa knows how to be a tough and capable parent who can shield her children from any threat, just like Yor.

Ursa also has assassination skills, though she's not a literal assassin. While she knows how to use herbs and poisons to kill people, she was forced to assassinate Fire Lord Azulon to protect her son's life from Azulon's wrath. She later went into exile, returning to her hometown where her childhood friend lived.

3 Mirajane Strauss Is Strong & Sweet (Fairy Tail)

For the most part, Spy x Family's Yor Forger should remind fans of similar anime moms, but some beloved big sisters fit the bill, too. A good example is the mighty Mirajane Strauss, a member of the Fairy Tail guild and the oldest of three. She will risk her very life for Elfman and Lisanna's sake.

Like Yor, Mirajane isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, but she greatly prefers peace and joy over violence if she can help it. In particular, Mirajane enjoys frilly outfits and volunteering as a barmaid in the Fairy Tail guild hall, which makes her quite popular. If she ever became a parent, she'd be in the same league as Yor for sure.

2 Trisha Elric Doted On Her Sons (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

Trisha and the young Elrics in Fullmetal Alchemist.

Trisha Elric is another well-liked anime mom who is perfectly happy to blend into the background while also working hard to raise her children with all the love and care in the world. Just like Yor, Trisha has kids with supernatural abilities - the alchemy of her sons, Edward and Alphonse. They're a bit like Anya in that regard.

Trisha is immensely proud of her sons and would do anything to protect them, much like Yor. What is more, Yor and Trisha both have husbands with big secrets. While Loid is a spy, Van Hohenheim is actually a centuries-old, human Philosopher's Stone.

1 Kushina Uzumaki Fought For Her Son (Naruto)

Kushina Uzumaki joins Yor Forger among the ranks of anime moms who will fight to the end for their beloved kids. Kushina was born into the Uzumaki clan, which specialized in sealing jutsu. She later met and married the blond Minato Namikaze and had a son with him.

Kushina, like Yor, is a cheerful and goofy anime mom who greatly prefers peace over war, but if her child is in danger, she will act immediately. She and Minato both gave up their lives to shield the newborn Naruto Uzumaki, and if she had to, Kushina would do it again.
