Shigemaru Mitamura

Shige-san is Yakko's father and owner of the okonomiyakia "Mambo". A widower since Yakko was very young, he has raised her practically on his own. He is very attached to his only daughter and, being somewhat narrow-minded and conservative, opposes her involvement with a rock musician such as Go. Shige-san is very fond of Hashizo and Juliano, and -in the end- he accepts Go as well. He is a great fan of enka. (Wikipedia)
