Minako's Father
CharacterMinako's Father is the unnamed dad of Minako Aino, appearing solely within Codename: Sailor V. A weary office worker, he is held up by his wife as a cautionary example for their daughter, yet his bumbling once accidentally spares Minako from danger.
Appearance
He resembles Usagi's father closely, sporting a pair of glasses and cropped dark hair.
Personality
He is an unremarkable salaryman stuck in a job with no future, and his wife points to him as the fate awaiting Minako should she neglect her studies. Minako herself thinks little of his skills, complaining that he cannot even set up a television antenna quickly.

History
That very clumsiness pays off in the third volume, where his slowness with the antenna ends up shielding Minako from a Dark Agency scheme. He never receives a first name and turns up in no story beyond Codename: Sailor V. Notably, he and his wife predate Usagi's parents entirely, since the pair were introduced in the original one-shot despite looking much like the Tsukino elders.
