Personality
Mr. Kagenō is a cowardly and neglectful man who constantly tries to get out of his responsibilities as family head. While pretending to always think critically, when a problem arrises, he will quickly resort to excuses and attempt to distance himself from the issue. His negligence also negatively impacts his relationship with his family, with neither of his children holding any respect for him while his wife straight-up resents him.

While he places no responsibility upon himself, Mr. Kagenō still hypocritically has expectations for his children. This is seen in how he neglects his son, Cid, due to his seeming ineptitude while focusing on his daughter. However, as seen when Claire was kidnapped, he will abandon his daughter too if it suits him.

Birth of Cid Kagenō
Like his wife, Mr. Kagenou was happy to have one more possible heirs, however, as Cid grew up, he showed no aptitude for anything, so Mr. Kagenou decided to focus more on Claire's growth, allowing Cid to do what he wanted, without paying any attention to him.

Claire Kagenō Abduction
Following the discovery of Claire's abduction, Mr. Kagenō, sensing that nothing could have prevented it, accepts it and tries to lay it off. In doing so, he incurs the wrath of Mrs. Kagenō because of his cowardliness.

Bushin Festival Tournament
In the anime after hearing that Claire had won the Bushin Festival, Mr. Kagenō was very excited to hear of his daughter's victory. But would receive his wife's wrath for not doing anything for their son.

Claire Kagenō
He is very fond of Claire because not only she is the heir to the Baron Kagenō Family, she is also very talented having been trained in swordsmanship and magic at a young age. Even though he is a cowardly father, he is very worried about Claire's situation when he finds out that his daughter has been kidnapped despite he never bothered sending out of search party for her.

Cid Kagenō
He loved Cid like any father could, but not more so than Claire. Because he considers his own son not to have good abilities in all fields. In fact, he often keeps himself quiet.

Mrs. Kagenō
As a husband, he loves his wife very much. But he was very afraid and even begged for mercy when his wife was angry, because she did not hesitate to call him "bald" and hit him mercilessly.
