Takashi Mizutani

A devoted and industrious father, this warm-hearted man remains a steady presence for his family despite the persistent financial struggles facing his market and Samejima. While he lacks his wife Shizuku’s sharp intellect, his expressive nature allows him to remain deeply involved in his children's lives and notice subtle changes in his daughter. Though he often plays along with Yoshino’s insults by jokingly embracing his reputation as a fool, his affectionate personality defines his role within the household.
