Description
Père de Yoi, meaning Yoi's father and also referred to in English materials as Takiguchi's Father, is a supporting character in the anime In the Clear Moonlit Dusk. He is the father of the protagonist, Yoi Takiguchi, a first-year high school student known at school as the Prince for her tall stature, deep voice, and masculine appearance. Yoi's father is described as a handsome middle-aged man with black hair, and he is closely associated in the story with the image of an apron and the scent of spices, reflecting his profession as a cook. He runs the popular curry restaurant named Takiguchi, located in the Shimokitazawa area of Tokyo, which serves as a significant part of the family's daily life.
The character shares a visible resemblance with his daughter, which ties neatly into the series' broader focus on appearance and how family traits shape the way others perceive Yoi. He is portrayed as a warm, caring, and attentive parent who takes a genuine interest in his daughter's happiness. His personality comes through in the quiet, steady support he offers Yoi rather than through dramatic gestures or interference in her affairs. His main motivation centers on looking after Yoi and wishing for her well-being, and he demonstrates this by being present and reassuring during her everyday life.
In the story, Yoi's father fills the role of a supportive family figure who grounds the romance in a stable and affectionate home environment. Although he is not a central driver of the plot, his presence matters because he provides Yoi with security and acceptance as she navigates her feelings. His most notable part in the narrative is his warm support of Yoi's growing feelings for Kohaku Ichimura, the school's other prince and the boy who becomes her romantic interest. Rather than questioning or complicating the relationship, he encourages Yoi, giving her the confidence to explore her emotions. In terms of development, the character remains consistent throughout the series, serving as a dependable and unchanging pillar of kindness in Yoi's life. His notable ability lies in his culinary work, particularly his skill in running the family curry restaurant, an activity that is woven into the texture of Yoi's home life and helps define the warmth of her family environment.
