This article contains spoilers for the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.
Summary
- Kawaki's mother remains a mystery in Boruto, with fans speculating she could be a character linked to Delta.
- Fans believe Delta's protective nature over Kawaki hints at a biological relationship.
- It's uncertain when Kawaki's mother will be revealed, as the manga shifts focus to current conflicts.
Boruto Uzumaki continues to carve his path in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex without hesitation. Even without Naruto and Sasuke, he is determined to overcome powerful opponents one after another. More than anything else, he is out to restore the Uzumaki household, including his adoptive brother, Kawaki, who has been causing trouble for quite a while now.
Kawaki is one of the most intriguing characters in the Boruto manga. Not much is known about his true family, except for his abusive father, who easily sold him to Jigen. Because of this, fans are searching for his mother, who has never been introduced in the story to this day. There are many assumptions about the identity of Kawaki’s mother, but this fan theory may explain who she really is.

Who Is Kawaki’s Mother?
Her Identity Is Shrouded in Mystery
To this day, the Boruto manga has never mentioned any relevant details about the identity of Kawaki’s mother. Even when the series delved into Kawaki’s tragic past, his mother did not have any exposure, making her identity more mysterious. What fans know so far is that Kawaki has a troubled past, like many other characters in Naruto who never knew what family love feels like.
On the contrary, the identity of Kawaki’s father was confirmed in the Boruto manga early on, as it was necessary to reveal him to drive the plot forward. Kawaki’s father is Kokatsu, a shinobi who fought Akatsuki's forces during the war. Unlike Naruto and Sasuke, who care so much about their children, Kokatsu has no soft spot for his son for some reason. All he ever does is abuse, insult, and mock Kawaki, not to mention beat him up.

Naturally, Kawaki learned to fear his father, despite his attempts to get on his good side by doing whatever he wanted. However, his efforts did not amount to anything, as Kokatsu sold him to Jigen in exchange for some alcohol money without any second thought. From here on, Kawaki’s life became even more rough and painful, not until Naruto and Hinata took him as their own son.
Fans Think Kawaki’s Mother Might Be Akebi
Subtle Hints Fans Noticed
Just like Kawaki, Akebi is an intriguing character in Boruto. Only Amado knows the truth about her, even after he revealed information about his daughter to Naruto and Shikamaru early on. While some fans are looking forward to her resurrection sooner or later in Two Blue Vortex, probably as the next Otsutsuki, others can’t help but connect her to Kawaki’s mother.
One the most interesting part of kawaki’s backstory is that his mother is nowhere to be seen. After everything that has been revealed in the manga so far, Delta/Akebi makes the most sense for now -Redditor achie104
Fans are speculating that Delta’s overly protective nature over Kawaki is a telltale sign that they might be biologically related. Since Delta contains Akebi’s memories and data, she may have been unconsciously channeling Akebi’s motherly instincts. On top of that, Akebi is around the age Kawaki’s mother would likely be, which could mean Amado’s daughter might have been pregnant before she died. Worse, she might have died from giving birth to Kawaki, not from her fatal illness, as Amado told everyone.
I agree, and I think Akebi actually died due to childbirth not illness. -Redditor iceking4321
Moreover, fans believe Amado is withholding this vital information from Kawaki until he revives Akebi through his reconstructed karma. Should Akebi turn into an Otsutsuki, Kawaki would have a tough time deciding whether he'd kill his mother for the sake of his adoptive father. If so, Kawaki would definitely question his purpose, possibly influencing his judgment, actions, and decisions.
When Will Kawaki’s Mother Appear?
It's Too Early To Tell
As much as fans would love to see Kawaki’s mother appear, the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga may not have the time to explore her story for now. With the rise of Jura and the Humanoid God Trees, the monthly chapter releases of the series could only focus on the conflict involving the more relevant characters like Boruto and Kawaki to keep the story going. Fans may have been noticing this, but the manga is narrowing its focus at the moment, highlighting the most important fight of the current story arc.

However, this doesn’t mean fans would never learn about the identity of Kawaki’s mother in Boruto. If the fan theory proves to be true, then her story will be explored sooner or later, as Akebi is poised to be the next Otsutsuki to rise in the series. When that happens, fans may get the answer they have been searching for all this time.
