Hiroshi Nohara, the 35-year-old father of the Nohara family, serves as a low-level manager (kakarichô) at Futaba Shoji and acts as the family's sole income source. His significant financial burden includes a 32-year mortgage, demanding frequent overtime work. Despite this, he carves out time for his family. He met his wife, Misae Koyama, at age 29 and married her soon after. They have two children: Shinnosuke and Himawari. Born in Omagari, Akita, Hiroshi has an older brother and a niece. Characterized as a loving father and devoted husband, Hiroshi relinquishes his entire monthly salary to Misae, who manages all household finances. He occasionally socializes with colleagues or his boss, often returning home intoxicated. A notable habit involves ogling attractive women, a trait mirrored by his son Shinnosuke, frequently drawing reprimands from Misae; Hiroshi, however, remains faithful. His dreams sometimes feature office romances, interrupted by family disruptions. Within the family, Hiroshi adopts a more passive disciplinary role than Misae. He frequently uses "maa, maa" ("now, now") to soothe her anger and avoids physical punishment, preferring calm discussions with Shinnosuke. Hiroshi occasionally entices Shinnosuke on outings by mentioning beautiful women, a tactic usually met with Misae's disapproval. A recurring comedic element features Hiroshi's notably smelly socks, used by family members as tools for waking, threatening, or punishing each other. The Nohara family frequently engages in shared activities like dining out or attending baseball games and trips. Hiroshi and Misae argue occasionally but consistently reconcile. His devotion was evident when he wept at the prospect of a month-long business trip to Osaka, fearing separation from his family. In the film *Bakumori! Kung Fu Boys ~Ramen Rebellion~*, Hiroshi appears as a supporting character. The movie focuses on Shinnosuke and his friends mastering Kung Fu to combat a ramen-induced frenzy in their town. Hiroshi's role maintains his established family presence without specific plot-related development or background expansion.
