Hiroshi Sakura

Hiroshi Sakura is the father of Maruko. Hiroshi has a rather lax and free personality, doing whatever he wishes to do whilst at home, which are often 'lazy' activities such as reading the newspaper or watching television. He seems to get on fine with everyone, but does show instances of mocking or making fun of others who state opinions contradicting his own. He can tend to laugh excessively upon hearing a funny story told by someone, most often from Maruko.
