Saiki Kuniharu

Kuniharu Saiki(斉木 國春, さいき くにはる lit. ) is the father of Kusuo and Kusuke and the husband of Kurumi. Kuniharu is one of the supporting characters of the series and was starred by Tanabe Seiichi in the live action of the series.

Appearance
Kuniharu often wears a suit and tie when going to work. He sports a pair of glasses and has brown hair and eyes, a change from his first appearance in the one-shot volume of the series where he has black hair and eyes.

Personality
He is sloppy and slovenly, often begging with disgusting teary faces towards his son. He is a layman who is always nice and respectful to people no matter how rude or scornful they are to him, such as his boss who orders him to lick his shoes and his father-in-law harboring a strong hatred towards him. He is not as talented as a manga editor as he thinks he is mostly due to his poor opinions, such as when he became the editor for Silent Cyborg (SiCy for short) and his ideas only lead to the story's ratings to drop down in the 3 weeks since the moment he worked with his client. His meetings with his clients usually end with them with distraught and depression but Kuniharu remains ignorant of this and keeps true to his cheerful optimism.

He is not very good at lying and making up stories, as shown at the time Nendou was turned to stone and when his mother asked where he was, Kuniharu answered he must have went to the washroom only to be informed by Saiki they are in the washroom.

History
He works as a manga editor. His special skill is flattering his boss. His father (paternal grandfather of Kusuo and Kusuke) has passed away while his mother (paternal grandmother of Kusuo and Kusuke) lives in a family house.
