Ashibe's grandfather is a shrewd entrepreneur presiding over a diverse portfolio of companies, his primary enterprise undefined but undeniably successful. Sporting a well-groomed beard and glasses, he carries himself in tailored attire reflecting his status. His wealth serves as a tool for swift solutions, exemplified when he once acquired a business where his grandson’s pet seal, Goma-chan, was spotted during a search.

Despite his affluent lifestyle, he shares a close-knit bond with his family, particularly his son, who forged an independent career as a carpenter. While his employees occasionally belittled his son’s modest profession, the grandfather openly values his child’s autonomy and integrity. Their divergent paths underscore differing priorities—corporate ambition versus hands-on craftsmanship—yet mutual respect anchors their dynamic.

His generosity often manifests in decisive acts, deploying resources to safeguard his family’s happiness. Though their worlds differ—one shaped by boardrooms, the other by craftsmanship—their relationship hinges on unwavering support and quiet understanding, bridging generational gaps through shared dedication to kinship.
