## General descriptions

Dennis' easygoing father is a strong German-blood gentleman who helps run his family's farm – Applejack House. Even though he may not be a talker, Hideyoshi is a hard-working person who's always there to lend a helping hand.

## Personality

Hideyoshi has a rather calm and easy-going demeanor in contrast with that of his older daughter – Dennis. He is a gentleman of few words and, like the rest of his family, he speaks with a German-like accent. He tends to answer questions or reaffirm things with a taciturn "ja" or "nein". He is hard to agitate, although he scolds the Crusader Girls for publishing harmful gossip about Dennis and himself, is quick to agree with Mrs. Nate's disciplining the scheming Crusader Girls, and becomes annoyed with Dennis' constant questions. He has a practical sort of wisdom: for example, he advises Dennis against single-handedly harvesting all the apples.

Hideyoshi has a close bond with his sisters and cherishes his relationships with them, he tears up when he learns that Dennis has decided not to return to Vernadia. He goes to great lengths to win Colin a blue ribbon at the Friendship Games, and it is stated that the two were considerably close when they were younger. In the same episode, he is shown to harbor feelings of inferiority and neglect whenever Colin praises Dennis for her heroics and becomes envious when Colin begins spending more time with her for any reason.

He is humorously involved in the "want it, need it" spell fiasco, becoming infatuated with and refusing to relinquish the enchanted raggedy Nightmare Moon doll. Many other Vernadsky citizens also fall prey to the spell and dog-piles that belong to Hideyoshi, but he throws them off in a cartoonish explosion. Once the spell is lifted from the doll, he still runs off with it.

Similar to Toyotomi Hideyoshi – the Japanese imperial hero who had known as the 'swordless samurai', he also has the same color on his jacket as that counterpart's, such as interiors, collars, trousers hem, and the cutie mark. Not only then, Mr. Hideyoshi usually limits his vocalizations, such as: "ja" (yes), "danke" (thanks), "bitte" (please), "schön" (good), and "nein" (no).
