Kyousuke Hori is the father of Kyouko and Souta Hori, married to Yuriko Hori. Standing 180 cm (5'11") tall, he has distinctive silver hair that typically covers one eye, a trait shared with Souta. He often appears casual and somewhat tired, frequently depicted with a cigarette as a heavy smoker who ignores household rules by smoking indoors. Kyousuke experienced a period of separation from his family for unspecified reasons before moving back in. He met Yuriko during high school when she was his senior, marrying after his graduation. His demanding job requires long hours, resulting in frequent absences. This absence contributed to Kyouko taking on significant domestic responsibilities, including caring for Souta, and fostered a dynamic where Kyousuke lacks deep respect from his children. His return is sometimes met with ambivalence, family members questioning how long he will stay or even jokingly excluding him, like Yuriko pretending not to have utensils for him while providing for guests. Personality-wise, Kyousuke is easy-going and humorous, often making jokes or playful teasing that his family finds annoying. He exhibits a laid-back, carefree exterior but harbors insecurities, including a fear of ghosts and horror movies, described as a "coward inside." He reacts with visible shock in surprising situations, like bowing apologetically upon seeing Miyamura's tattoos. His comedic tendencies manifest around Miyamura, whom he enthusiastically embraces, awkwardly inviting him to bathe together. Kyousuke is highly supportive of Miyamura's relationship with Kyouko, prioritizing Miyamura's company over Kyouko's during Christmas and playfully calling Miyamura his "son," causing confusion. He is so invested he suggests baby names for them. Within family dynamics, Kyousuke faces challenges securing respect or warmth. Kyouko addresses him by his first name and reacts violently toward him, a behavior normalized as "crazy domestic violence habits." He becomes wary and fearful when Kyouko is angry. Despite this, he demonstrates care, attending Kyouko's graduation and attempting to engage with Souta. His interactions with Yuriko involve mutual teasing, though her exclusionary jokes hint at underlying tensions. Kyousuke often tries to connect through Miyamura, viewing him as a conduit for familial bonding. Kyousuke's role includes catalyzing moments of humor and slight discomfort, like his over-the-top friendliness toward Miyamura. His development centers on subtle attempts to reintegrate into the family after the separation. While his job remains undisclosed, his gradual inclusion in domestic activities suggests ongoing reconciliation. His fearfulness and need for acceptance contrast his jocular facade, underscoring a desire for stable familial connections.
