Description
Do'on Furuya is the father of the protagonist, Chihiro Furuya, and his younger sister, Mero. At 44 years old, he serves as the head priest of the family's temple, Soryouji, located in the town of Ayakashi. As a priest, he is characterized by an extremely relaxed and tolerant disposition. This welcoming nature extends to his role as a temple keeper, as he willingly opens his home to offer shelter to those in need.
In the narrative, Do'on plays a supportive, secondary role. He practices a largely laissez-faire approach to parenting, choosing to trust his children rather than impose strict rules upon them. This quiet acceptance becomes a crucial plot point early in the series when he grants permission for the main female character, Rea Sanka, to live in the temple's storehouse. His simple statement that taking her in "should be fine" provides the necessary stability for the story's central, unusual living situation to unfold. Beyond his family, he also warmly welcomes other characters, such as Darin Arciento Kurumiya, as boarders.
Regarding his personal history and family secrets, Do'on exhibits a notable lack of awareness about certain matters. He remains completely oblivious to the past involvement of his ancestor, Jogorō Furuya, in zombie research. However, the narrative hints that he might possess some knowledge regarding a secret connected to his wife, Yuzuna Furuya, the mother of his children. His role is also defined by his practical contributions to the household, such as being responsible for preparing breakfast for the family.
Do'on's personality serves as an anchor of normalcy and moral support within the otherwise chaotic events. While characters like his son are driven by obsessive interests and Rea is burdened by a tragic family situation, Do'on remains a figure of calm, generous acceptance. His tranquility and high level of tolerance provide a safe haven for the other characters. A unique detail is found in his name, "呶恩 (Doon)," which is a direct reference to the American zombie film Dawn of the Dead, a fitting nod for a character in a series about zombies.
