Mr. Kagenou

Mr. Kagenō (オトン・カゲノー) also known as Baldy, is the father of the Kagenō family from Midgar Kingdom.

Appearance
Mr. Kagenō is old in appearance and is bald, being called "baldy" by many people including by his own wife and daughter due to his cowardice. He also has some facial hair. He wears a dress shirt and a suit.

Personality
Mr. Kagenō is a cowardly and neglectful man who constantly tries to get out of his responsibilities as family head. Even when his daughter, Claire, had been abducted, he never bothered sending out of search party for her, instead merely stating that "there was nothing he could do" and it was "not his fault". 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 Kagenou
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.

The Kidnapping of Claire Kagenou
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.

Trivia

 * Despite being a terrible father, Mr. Kagenou never denied Cid anything by allowing him to receive the same opportunities and education that Claire has.
 * Cid privately fears that he might one day go bald like his father.
