## Grandfather

**Qunituplets Maternal Grandfather** (tentative name) of the Nakano quintuplets and the father of the late Rena Nakano. He is the manager of the Toraiwa Hot Springs inn.[*no citation*]

He later fell ill and passed away about three years after the main story and therefore could not attend his granddaughter's wedding with Fuutarou Uesugi.

## Appearance

The grandfather in the last picture ever taken with his granddaughters.
## Personality

At first glance, the grandfather seems a senile old man not even aware of his surroundings, to the point Fuutarou even wondered if he was alive. However, when one of his granddaughters was seemingly harassed by Fuutarou, he threw the young man to the floor and threatened to kill him if he ever got close to them again.

He's able to tell his quintuplet granddaughters apart even when they're assuming the same appearance, which he claims is thanks to "love", an advice he passes on to Fuutarou so he can learn how to tell them apart himself. Towards the end of his life, he seems to regret having caused the quintuplets to suppress their individuality, and entrusts Fuutarou to take care of them after he passes away.

Maruo Nakano/Relationships

* Overview
* Gallery
* **Relationships**

## Family Members

### The Nakano Quintuplets

While Maruo is not the quintuplets' biological father, he genuinely cares for his stepdaughters, which is shown in his decision to hire Fuutarou Uesugi, the best student in class, as his stepdaughters' tutor, despite disliking him. He also doesn't force his opinions and decisions on the quintuplets. When the quintuplets decide to move out from their residence to live independently, Maruo becomes displeased. Even so, he still considers their thoughts and allows them to do so.

### Rena Nakano

Maruo was once a student of Rena, and according to Isanari Uesugi, he was the president of her fan club in junior high school, implying that he harbored strong romantic feelings for her.

Many years later, when Rena fell ill and had to be hospitalized, Maruo became her doctor and he would often visit her, as noted by the Nakano quintuplets. They married sometime before her death, and he would continue looking after her daughters in her memory.

## Other Characters

### Ebata

Ebata is the Papa Nakano's secretary and occasionally driver. Due to Papa Nakano's lack of time and attention towards his stepdaughters, Ebata is assigned to take care of the quintuplets.

### Isanari Uesugi

Isanari has a relationship with Papa Nakano prior to the beginning of the series. Through Isanari, Fuutarou was able to land the job as the quintuplets' private tutor. It is implied the two have known each other for some time, with Isanari being aware that Maruo does not drink.

It was later revealed that Isanari and Maruo were once classmates.

### Fuutarou Uesugi

Despite choosing Fuutarou as the quintuplets' private tutor, Papa Nakano bears a certain hatred toward him. This is implied to have partly came from Fuutarou telling him off following the fight between Nino Nakano and Itsuki Nakano. He denies Fuutarou and objects him marrying one of his daughters.

Despite his treatment and attempts to rid his daughters of Fuutarou, he does admit he is impressed by Fuutarou's resolve and acknowledges his academic performance. He positively notes Fuutaoru's change in attitude towards being the sisters' tutor as opposed to Fuutarou's initial reluctance.

During the wedding between Fuutarou and his stepdaughter, Papa Nakano refuses to show up with Fuutarou until Isanari reprimands him.
Takebayashi

* **Overview**
* Gallery
* Relationships

* Current
* Past

**Takebayashi** (竹林たけばやし, *Takebayashi*?) is a childhood classmate of Fuutarou Uesugi. She was a class representative at the time of the Kyoto trip, along with Sanada.

## Appearance

Young Takebayashi had black shoulder-length hair that had a pin holding up her hair on the left side of her head and bangs swept to the left side. She wore a plaid shirt with rolled-up sleeves and long pants during the Kyoto trip.

In the present, she now has long hair up to the waist with bangs swept to the right side and she still has the pin from her elementary school days. She wears a white blouse with long sleeves and long, black pants..

## Personality

During the flashback, Takebayashi was portrayed as a responsible girl, acting as the class representative of her class alongside Sanada, her childhood friend. Always upbeat and wanted to have fun as well, despite being the one to keep everyone in check. She also wants to include everyone in activities, as seen from her wish to include Sanada into the playing with Fuutarou Uesugi and the rest and worrying for Fuutaro when he stayed behind to go to the bathroom for a long time.

In the present, she seems to remain the same attitude she had with Fuutaro. She seems to have gained a bit of a teaser personality, as seen from her declaring that it was clear who was closer to Fuutaro between the quints and her, or how she teased Fuutaro over his changed looks and not remembering her despite being so close in the past. She still worried about the people she cares about, seen how glad she was that Fuutaro was able to grow out from his insecurities from the past, and seems to have a soft spot for the "girl from Kyoto" who managed to change Fuutaro to be a better person. She also seems to be extremely perceptive, as she realized the "friends" Fuutaro had were the "quadruplets" she had once met in Kyoto and she may have realized they are into him, and that she was able to deduce that Yotsuba Nakano was the "girl from Kyoto" from the information she was given.

* Manga (Teen)

**Raiha Uesugi** (上杉うえすぎ らいは, *Uesugi Raiha*?) is the younger sister of Futaro Uesugi. She is the one who cooks for the family, and despite still being in elementary school, she's wise beyond her years.

## Appearance

Raiha is a slim young girl who stands at a medium height with long black hair, green/brown eyes (in Season 1, brown in Season 2), a simple butterfly-shaped ribbon, holding up her hair in a high cowlick.

## Personality

Raiha is a cheerful girl who is essentially the head of the family, despite her young age, since she's the one who takes care of financial matters and cooks for the family. Her mother's absence forces her to spent more time at household matters, leaving her to hold back a lot of things a child normally do. She cares a lot about her brother and concerned about his life, even when both of them have grown up significantly.

## History

Futaro says that Raiha has been holding back all this time due to their family situation.

## Ability

Raiha is good at cooking as she is able to cook various meals. In chapter 23, it is revealed that Raiha has a mediocre, if not poor, constitution, Raiha is the one who cooks in the family.

Raiha is seen to have good wisdom and perception. She has a good understanding of her family issues and uses those circumstances for her/their benefit. Raiha is also hinted to have a shrewd mind, capable of using her expressions to convince people to follow her lead, or exploit her cuteness to achieve her goals, as shown in several occasions. Raiha uses her charms to entice Itsuki Nakano. Raiha is able to connect the four Nakano Quintuplets with Itsuki, despite their different hair lengths and accessories, something that Futaro is unable to do.

## Quotes

* *"My brother is trash. and egoistical. and like the worst guy ever. but he has a lot of good qualities too!"* - Raiha Uesugi (S01E01).
* *"I'll treasure it for the rest of my life"* - Raiha Uesugi (S01E04).

## Trivia

* Raiha believes in charms as she is seen making one herself (See Raiha's Charm).
