Akare Hashimori

As the main head of the Hashimori, he is also the father of Ryuji and Father-in-law to his arranged Fumiko. He serves as a neglectful and dismissive father to Ryuji, and values his son's role as heir of the Hashimori rather than his son himself while favoring his more experienced siblings and his new wife over Ryuji. He still however, still tries to mentor Ryuji on how to manage his role as heir, but they both keep it professional despite the awkward relationship between them. He is energetic and charismatic in public, even well liked by other Nakagawa and Hashimori Political officials, including that of the current head of the Nakagawa, Shigamu Nakagawa. In private, he is calculated, reserved, quiet and strict to everyone around him. Ryuji sees him as unnecessarily arrogant and self-centered for a father, but keeps his thoughts to himself about his father like usual.
