25 Of The Best Anime Dads Of All Time

If you know anything about anime, then you’re well aware that the dads in these shows are often either dead or just not around. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some great ones out there, though! What’s a good anime without an awesome father figure?

Jouichirou is laid back, but he is also a professional and has a serious side that shows every time he is cooking. His cooking skills are world-renowned.

Byakuya Ishigami (Dr Stone)

One rarely sees a parent who is so proud of their child. The boy’s father, Byakuya, never doubts Senku’s abilities, never wavering in his belief. Byakuya worked endlessly for Senku, even selling his car to get lab equipment. He put his money where his mouth was, literally. Totally aware that he would one day become one of the top players.

Yoshifumi Nitta (Hinamatsuri)

Nitta is just a yakuza member with a golden heart. The moment Hina fell into his lap, he willingly took on the father role and tried his best to be a role model. Despite knowing what Hina was capable of, he always looked out for her and her friends. Word even spread through the underground that he was now a very loving single parent.

Mr. Kimura (Azumanga Daioh!)

Why would Mr. Kimura, who is pervy and annoying, even make the list? Despite Mr. Kimura’s inappropriate behavior at school, he has a hidden good side that deserves attention. According to his students, he is a great family man with a loving wife and a happy daughter.
