A Letter to Momo. A Letter to Momo ( Japanese: ももへの手紙, Hepburn: Momo e no Tegami ) is a 2011 Japanese anime drama film produced by Production I.G and distributed by Kadokawa Pictures. The film was written and directed by Hiroyuki Okiura and stars an ensemble cast featuring Karen Miyama, Yuka, Toshiyuki Nishida, Chō and Kōichi Yamadera.
In A Letter to Momo, 11-year-old Momo Miyaura moves with her mother to a small island town after her father dies. When she arrives, she encounters three goblins that others cannot see who help her to cope with the loss of her father and the changes in her life.
Sachio then tells Momo that the yokai were originally gods, but they were transformed as a punishment for breaking the divine laws. Momo attempts to prevent the yokai from stealing the local vegetables, only for Kawa to break Ikuko's mirror. Later, she and Ikuko argue, and Momo leaves.
Koichi and Yota pursue Momo, but she reveals her previous argument with Kazuo before his death and asks Koichi to help find the doctor. Meanwhile, the yokai realize they can escape punishment by allowing Momo and Koichi to cross over the newly completed bridge and find the doctor on the other side.
Following the death of her father Kazuo, Momo Miyaura and her mother Ikuko travel from Tokyo to the Seto Inland Sea. Momo carries Kazuo's unfinished letter, which contains only the words "Dear Momo". At her mother's estate in Shio Island (汐島, Shiojima), they meet their relatives Sachio and Sae Sadahama, and Koichi, a postman and an old friend of Ikuko, who has always had a crush on her. Momo is devastated and misses Tokyo. In the attic, she opens a present containing a rare picture book about goblins and Yōkai, collected by Sachio's father. Three droplets from the sky enter Ikuko's estate and transform into yokai consisting of Kawa, Mame, and Iwa, the group's leader.

Momo agreed in exchange for Kaito giving her chocolates, tea, and a comfortable sofa . At some point, Momo met Akiho's Mother who gave her the ring that she wears in her ear, asking her to take care of her "little Alice". Thus, Momo remained by Akiho's side since the day she born.
Yuna is the only one who has been seen to communicate with Momo as of yet. Both of them are of the consensus that they need to watch over Akiho.
Momo (モモ, Momo) is one of supporting characters of the Clear Card Arc. Just like Keroberos and Spinel Sun, she looks just like a stuffed animal.
Momo is sentient, much like Kero and Spinel, but Akiho is unaware of this. She enjoys eating the food Yuna D. Kaito prepares, and usually sits in a lounging position on the couch. She also seems to be somewhat concerned about how far Kaito plans to go to achieve his goal of working taboo magics.
