Description
Mori Etō is a character from the anime Tokimeki Tonight, where he serves as the father of the protagonist, Ranze Etō. He is a vampire who originates from the demon world, also referred to as Makai, and possesses the ability to transform into a bat or a bat-like form. His physical appearance is often depicted with short gray hair and blue eyes, and he typically wears formal attire that includes a cape and cravat, reinforcing his vampire identity.
As a parent, Mori Etō is protective and caring, though he initially disapproves of his daughter's relationship with the human boy Shun Makabe, largely due to the unwritten rule that demon-world inhabitants should not become romantically involved with humans. This disapproval stems not from malice but from a desire to keep his family safe and hidden from the human world. Over time, as events unfold and Shun's true nature is revealed, his stance evolves, and he becomes more accepting of his daughter's choices.
Mori Etō works as a struggling novelist in the human world, and his career takes a turn when one of his stories becomes a bestseller, gaining him recognition and financial stability. This subplot adds a layer of depth to his character, showing his ambitions and struggles beyond his domestic role. His personality is gentle and somewhat laid-back compared to his wife Shira Etō, who is a werewolf and has a more fiery temperament. The dynamic between Mori and Shira is affectionate despite frequent arguments, and they form a united front when it comes to protecting their children.
His key relationships center on his family. He is married to Shira Etō, a werewolf, and together they have two children, Ranze and Rinze. Ranze inherits the ability to transform by biting objects, while Rinze takes after his mother with werewolf traits. Mori acts as a source of emotional support and comic relief, often finding himself caught between his wife's strong will and his daughter's stubbornness. He also interacts with other demon-world characters, such as the demon-world prince Aron and the grim reaper Georges, and he becomes involved in the larger conflicts that threaten both the human and demon worlds.
Throughout the story, Mori Etō shows development from a somewhat overprotective and cautious father to a more trusting and understanding parent. He allows his children to make their own choices, even when those choices involve danger or relationships with humans. His notable abilities include his vampire transformations and his skill in adapting to human society, which he has done for many years. He is also resourceful and loyal, willing to assist in battles and schemes when his family is endangered.
