That's really not fair to bring against the subs, though. Japanese oftentimes tends to use familial terms like mother or brother when referring to someone of no relation.
So with Rin constantly referring to Kou's unnamed mother simply as "Mother," it could be confusing to American audiences who don't know about this quirk, and might possibly mislead some viewers into thinking that Kou's mother is also Rin's mother.
I think it's for the best to, when referring to her, to use "Kou's Mother" to understand what the character's are saying without confusion or alteration.

I can understand getting annoyed when they change Rin calling Kaku uncle, that's fair, but with an unnamed character like Rin's mom, they really didn't have any options.

Also, concerning the kanji usage on "Ten" in Tenshin, Japan is like, the country of puns. It was probably completely intentional to use a dual meaning with Ten.
