Hana (Tokyo Godfathers): Like Martha Kent, Hana from Tokyo Godfathers is proof that Mother is as Mother does, and biology shouldn't be an obstacle to being called someone's mother. The fact that Hana happens to be a transvestite drag queen is less damaging to her position on this list than the fact that she really doesn't do a very good job as mother to the baby that drives the plot of this movie, even with the help of her homeless friends Gin and Miyuki. Still, she makes up what she may lack in skill with enthusiasm, and that's got to count for something.

-----------
Hana is actually an honorable mention.
