Café Proprietor

The **Café Proprietor** is a character in *Little Witch Academia*. He's the part-time staff of Last Wednesday Society.

## Appearance

The Proprietor is a portly adult man with pale skin, brown hair that reaches his shoulders, a slight beard on the chin and a green tattoo on both of his forearm. He wears a dark green shirt and a gray apron.

## Personality

He is a kind gentleman with his clients, but is annoyed by those who touch his products without permission and those who are not satisfied with what he offers them. He is willing to help any of his customers if they're in trouble, as seen in "Yesterday". He has shown a strange taste for the decoration of his shop.

## Plot

### TV Series

#### Don't Stop Me Now

He is shown to be only active staff in Last Wednesday Society, a shop with magical items, as his boss is nowhere to be seen when Akko and Lotte visit it to retrieve the latter's newly restored magic broom. The Proprietor discourages Akko from touching Shooting Star he had on nearby display, let alone allowing her to have it just for the upcoming broom relay due to being extremely dangerous. He then expresses his confidence that Diana will be the winner of the broom relay race.

#### Blytonbury's Undead Travelogue

Akko, Lotte and Sucy go to their shop asking about the abandoned house that Mr. Holbrook claims belonged to the man he most hated. He explains that he stayed with the properties of that house after the Golden Age of Magic ended and also explains that it was the Golden Age.

#### Bee Commotion

Akko, Lotte and Sucy go to their store looking for dresses for the Handbridge party, he offers them several inappropriate dresses that they reject. Finally he sells them the Cinderella Magic Set and offers them a discount on the Snow White Magic Set.

#### Sky War Stanship

He sees it briefly when Akko goes to the cafe while looking for the pieces Constanze ordered. He is also seen selling his products during the Wild Hunt.

#### Yesterday

He serves Diana and Akko in the cafe after the former finds the latter in the snow, offering them somewhere to sit, along with tea. When Lotte, Sucy, Amanda, Constanze and Jasminka arrive, he offers them drinks as well, stating that they must be cold, being out in a snowy day.

#### Tree of Leaves

He watches on television the battle of Akko and Diana against the missile from his shop, giving them his Fuel Spirit alongside everyone else.

## Relationships

### Akko Kagari

Although sometimes dismissive at Akko's bold claims, it doesn't stop him from helping her.

## Abilities and Equipment

Despite only works part-time at Last Wednesday Society, the Proprietor displayed considerable knowledge of magical substances, equipment, and a license to use magic items, which implies some ability with magic yet not necessarily a wizard himself. This includes potion usage, as shown when she used one to project images of the Golden Age of Magic in "Blytonbury's Undead Travelogue".

## Trivia

* His     design is based on Chumlee from *Pawn Stars*, something which amused Chumlee's actor Austin Russel as stated in his Twitter account.
	+ Their resemblance was intentional because the producer intended the character to be a homage to Chum Lee and honor his Japanese dub actor Akihiro Matsushima.
