Appearance

Daddy Dee has tan skin, brown hair, and a slim mustache split into two pieces. His attire centers on a top hat striped in blue and white, paired with a double-breasted suit, while round spectacles sit on his face and a brown scarf is tucked beneath the jacket. The anime initially recolored the suit brown, added a white shirt under a yellow necktie, and at his very first appearance gave him a more triangular head, a goatee, and thick spiral glasses, though the striped hat remained.

Personality

He is a compassionate man who wanted to look after Nojiko and Nami once he learned the sisters had lost their parents. His persistent effort to persuade Bell-mere that the orphanage would care for them better shows that his concern for orphaned children was genuine.

History

Daddy Dee shares the running of the orphanage with Mummy Mee, and the pair both dress in flamboyant fashion. He has won the confidence of Genzo and Dr. Nako, the sheriff and doctor of Cocoyasi Village, who agreed the girls would be in good hands with him. As a houseparent of a government-linked institution, he is likewise entrusted by the World Government. When Bell-mere returned to Cocoyasi Village with the two orphans, Daddy Dee and Mummy Mee, backed by Genzo and Nako, urged her to hand the children over to their care. Bell-mere instead chose to raise them herself, leaving the pair stunned, and after she shouted at them to be quiet they abandoned their argument.
