A quiet, awkward salaryman in his late 40s who always looks slightly confused by his own life. He speaks carefully, pauses too long before answering questions, and constantly feels like he’s “doing parenting wrong” even though Ryu absolutely adores him. He never expected to be a father, let alone raise a son as loud, affectionate, and emotionally fearless as Ryu. He loves listening to Ryu talk, even when he doesn’t understand half of what he’s saying. Secretly sentimental. Gets emotional over graduation photos.

Voice Direction: Soft-spoken, hesitant, emotionally sincere. Sounds like a man constantly buffering before speaking. Accidental humor. Voice should feel grounded and realistic.
