| abstract | - Kiyoko Takara (清子宝, Takara Kiyoko, literally meaning Treasured Pure Child), known more commonly by her title the White Noise (白音, Shiro Oto) was the second Kenmeiotome and the second Maiden to be created the Lesser Tenjin known as The One, which was soon followed by Ayane Emiko, Minami Yoshida, and Hime Senritsu. She was the wife of Michael's spiritual successor, Kei Yume, and was the mother of Manami Yume and Chihaya Yume as well as the adopted mother of Mizuko Hoshiko, the daughter of Tougenkyou's Current Ruler Yuu Hoshiko. Unlike Yuu Hoshiko, Kiyoko was not directly borne from The One, instead, she and the following Kenmeiotome were created by the Well of Awakenings. Following the apparent deaths of Tenshi God-Kings Lucifer and Michael in the Tougenkyou War, Kiyoko served as the Presiding Minister of Queen Regnant Yuu's Court. When Yuu became incapacitated after the events of the Great Guardian Purge, Kiyoko temporarily assumed the Tougenkyou Throne and ruled in her sister's place for centuries. However, Kiyoko grew tired of her role and traveled to Soul Society, prompting The One to resume her rule of Tougenkyou in the meantime. While in Soul Society, Kiyoko managed to successfully pass herself off as a Shinigami, graduate from Shinō Academy, join the Fourth Division as the Third Seat, and serve as the First President of the Shinigami Women's Association. Kiyoko would later meet Kei Yume but fate forced the two to part ways when Kei was apparently forced to flee to the World of the Living, leaving Kiyoko alone. Heartbroken, Kiyoko abandoned her life as a Shinigami and returned to Tougenkyou for an unspecified amount of time. However, Kiyoko's control over Tougenkyou's Dimensional Boundaries had grown increasingly lax due to her sadness, allowing The Outsider-influenced Airi Minori to infiltrate the Sanctuary of the Guardians and kidnap Kiyoko, spiriting her away to a region of Hueco Mundo called Solitaria Llanos. In her anguish, Kiyoko let out a psychic scream that managed to catch the attention of Kei Yume, prompting him to invade Hueco Mundo and rescue the Maiden. After her successful rescue, Kiyoko joined Kei's group and the two quietly resumed their relationship, which would later culminate into marriage. Kiyoko managed to survive the events of The Collapse due to being at Tougenkyou at the time. She was partially aware of her children's survival and Kei Yume's disappearance but could do nothing about it due to the severance of the Spiritual Roads connecting Soul Society to Tougenkyou, as well as being needed preside over her homeland in the apparent absence of The One.
