Personality
Entrusted with running a kindergarten, Honjou comes across as an approachable adult at ease around children, appealing enough that both Minako and Makoto find themselves smitten with him.

History
Honjou turns up in episode 154 as the head of the kindergarten that Momoko and Kyuusuke attended in their younger years. Taken with him, Minako and Makoto volunteer to pitch in at the school bazaar, and his looks also mark him as prey for CereCere, who comes after his Dream Mirror. He resurfaces in a brief cameo in episode 165, standing in the crowd beside his son and joining the chorus of voices that call out Moon Crisis Power alongside Sailor Chibi Moon. Written in Japanese, his surname reads as main castle.
