Description
The President, formally known as the President of Everything, is a recurring main character in the anime Super Milk-chan. He is a stout, bald man born in 1964 who serves as the leader of the unnamed country where the series takes place, a nation referred to only as "our nation." The circumstances of his election are never explained, and the series consistently presents him as a figure whose authority is more nominal than real.
In terms of personality, the President is inept and largely incapable of fulfilling his duties. Official material describes him as taciturn and somewhat sullen, with a verbal tic of "Dasu" and the catchphrase "nuna~?" He enjoys wine, women, and song, though his tastes run to cheap wine, loose women, and off-key karaoke. He has short, round arms and tends to pound his desk while talking on the phone. A running gag is that he attracts flies. Despite his shortcomings, he is devoted to his pet cat, Kanchi, and in later franchise material he keeps two adopted cats named Fujiko A and Fujiko F. In the manga, his favorite food is eel bones.
The President's stated motivation is to protect the healthy daily life of his nation's citizens, and he spends his days attempting to do so by delegating problems to Milk-chan. In practice, his actions are driven more by paranoia and self-preservation than by genuine leadership. In one episode, after dreaming that he would be executed, he fired his country's best missile at his own nation and was ultimately struck by it himself after becoming sidetracked.
His central role in the story is to assign Milk-chan a new mission in each episode, communicating with her by hotline. Whether she actually carries out the mission is entirely her choice, and she takes credit for successes regardless. He also provides her with government equipment and weapons, including the Punishment Missile, which he fires to "punish" targets. His office background and the decorative figures on his desk change from episode to episode.
The President's key relationship is with Milk-chan, whom he treats as his operative despite her frequent disregard for his orders. Beyond that, his closest ties are to his pets. The character shows little personal development over the course of the series, remaining a consistent comic figure whose failures and absurd judgments drive much of the humor. He is featured prominently in the episode "The President That Dashes Through Time," and he continues to appear in later franchise projects, including the revival Super Milk-chan Forever, where he maintains an official social media presence.
His notable abilities are not supernatural. He possesses no combat powers, and his competence is consistently questionable, but he has access to the military resources of his office, such as missiles and experimental machines. In one episode he travels through time. More characteristic of the character are his verbal habits, his desk-pounding phone manner, and the assortment of personal quirks that make him a memorable presence in the series.
