Orinoko's father is introduced as a blacksmith who specializes in sword-making. While not much is known about him, it is stated by Orinoko that three years prior to the events of FLCL: Grunge, he was given a robot by the government as a form of financial assistance to artisans who were preserving traditions, he would program the robot as an assistant. But as her father became ill, the robot started doing more household work and he would often refer to it by "honey". It would later be revealed that the robot contained the memories of his late wife, Saya, which he transferred over to the robot in order to preserve her memories as she was dying. 
When Orinoko finds a precious precious steel known as "Tamahagane" she presents it to her father while suggesting that they make a katana together. Despite Orinoko's father being ill and fatigued, the trio begin working thorough the night before finally making a high quality katana. As he admires the final product and see his dream come true, he suddenly collapses in front of her. With his final few breaths, he tells his daughter to see to the sharpening and that he was finally able to create the greatest katana before ultimately passing away, he would later be cremated.
