Tōichirō Aoi

**Tōichirō Aoi** (葵 塔一郎, *Aoi Tōichirō*) is a supporting character in The Mob Boss's Daughter and Her Caretaker.

He was the former right-hand man of the Sakuragi family, the husband of Sanae Aoi and the father of Kōki Aoi and Hina Aoi.

## Appearance

Aoi is a handsome man with a tall and lean build.

He has burnt orange hair with bangs that're seen swept to the right, a dark undercut, and narrow lapis blue eyes.

During his days of serving the Sakuragi family, he would be seen wearing suits with yellowish orange tinted sunglasses with black rims. As for his hair, he would have most of it slicked back with only one strand hanging freely over his forehead.

After departing from the Sakuragi's, in order to start a family of his own, most of the outfits he's seen wearing are casual. One of which being a black leather jacket, a pair of silver earrings on both ears, a white v neck underneath his coat, dark blue denim jeans, and dark grey boots with heather grey accents.

## Personality

Aoi is a laid back and nice individual who can also be prone to have a fiery short temper.

One example of him losing his cool was whenever he had to deal with Kirishima, the latter of who he spent most of his time with when working with the Sakuragi's, as well as trying to make him stay out of trouble. Or when dealing with his oldest son, Kōki, whenever he tries to flirt with Yaeka.

Despite his hot-headed temper, he can be pretty laid back for the most part. And since having a family of his own, he's seen to have mellowed out, but still retain his fiery temper whenever he banters with his son.

One cheeky trait he has during his interactions with Yaeka is when he'd usually find ways to blackmail Kirishima with "embarrassing" photos or stories of him to the latter, should he avoid doing things whenever being asked by the little lady.

A comical trait to Aoi is how he can be prone to crying easily. The first time being when Yaeka reassured him that his leave from the Sakuragi family didn't affect her father to where he's "mad" at him, and another time being when he came by to the house and started crying upon reuniting with Kazuhiko before getting fully caught up.

## Background

Aoi had served the Sakuragi family as it's right-hand man.

For the most part, he would usually work alongside Toru and try to get him to stay out of trouble, which usually results a berating on the latter's end. But despite the odds, they get along relatively well.

Sometime during his days of serving the Sakuragi's, he met his future wife, Sanae, and she gave birth to their first-born son, Kōki.

At some point, Sanae was soon pregnant with her second born child, Hina, and due to Aoi's absence, it began to worry her. Once Aoi had returned to the hospital after carrying out a mission, and that he was injured as a result from the scuffle, she began to have a severe panic attack. Because of this, and because Aoi hadn't realized that his absence has led her to worry so much, he decided to leave the Sakuragi family, seeing that he had found something to protect.

After making a hard decision to leave the Sakuragi's, yet he expressed gratitude to Kazuhiko for everything he's done for him, he lives his life relatively peaceful with his wife and children.
