Mr. Magatsuchi

Mr. Magatsuchi usually appears calm and gentle, always with a slight smile on his face.

He has dark purple hair, which looks somewhat like his son Shouta's hair.

His eyes are also purple.

In the anime, his look changes a bit between seasons: his face appears slightly thinner in the second season.

He is always well-dressed, fitting his role as an executive.

At home, pictures show him with his family.

Gentle but Cunning

On the outside, Mr. Magatsuchi seems calm, reasonable, and polite.

He always smiles and looks relaxed, even in tough situations.

But this is just on the surface; deep down, he is extremely clever and cunning.

Rule-Breaker and Problem-Solver

He often finds creative, sometimes sneaky solutions to problems, like using his magic and future sight to copy books from other worlds and sell them for money.

He has flexible morals and is ready to justify his actions with clever words or twisted logic.

Pragmatic and Result-Focused

He believes in working towards results and sees life, and even death, as part of a chain of results.

He is not afraid to bend rules if it means achieving a goal.

Warm Yet Distant Father

He cares for his son Shouta, though he sometimes lets him deal with his own problems.

He believes that tough experiences are good lessons for growing up.

Mr. Magatsuchi is a member of a great wizard family from another world, which is also the origin of Tohru and other dragons.

He holds the highest wizard rank: Therion.

His wife is Saori, a stay-at-home mom, and their son is Shouta.

He works as an executive (specifically, the senior managing director) at Hell Tour Trading, a company where Kobayashi is also employed as a programmer.

His real name is not revealed as of Chapter 123; he is often called by his family name, "Magatsuchi."

There are mysterious clues about his real identity, lifespan, and possible real name, such as "Simon."

Highest Rank Wizard

Mr. Magatsuchi holds the "Therion" title, the top rank among wizards.

He has strong magical powers and is well-respected in the wizard community.

Future Sight

He can see into the future, which he uses for both serious and mischievous reasons, like copying famous books before they are created in the human world and selling them.

Alchemy

He is an expert in alchemy, further proving his magical skills.

Programming Knowledge

At his job, he created a special programming language based on magical patterns.

This makes it hard for new workers to fit in, causing some workplace problems.

Shouta Magatsuchi (Son)

Mr. Magatsuchi is Shouta's father.

He cares for his son and tries to teach him important lessons, but often lets him handle challenges on his own for growth.

He sometimes gives him presents to reward his efforts, showing a softer, caring side.

Lucoa (Shouta’s Familiar)

Mr. Magatsuchi put Lucoa under Shouta's control based on their family rule: if you summon something, it’s your responsibility.

He trusts Lucoa and sees the experience as good for Shouta.

Kobayashi

He is Kobayashi’s boss at the company and often frustrates her with his unusual management style and company policies.

Elma

He regularly rejects Elma’s workplace improvement demands with a mix of logic and trickery.

Damocles

He is an old acquaintance of Damocles, Tohru’s father, and keeps him informed about Tohru’s life in the human world.

Azard

Mr. Magatsuchi is the senior apprentice to Azard and later assigns him the role of "guardian" after he loses his magic.

Saori (Wife)

His wife Saori is a housewife, and together they form a stable family, though not much is revealed about their daily life.

Everyday Life at Work

At the company where Kobayashi works, Mr. Magatsuchi is a big boss.

He invented a complicated programming language based on magic, making it very hard for newcomers to join and learn.

This led to a shortage of new workers and, in a way, made the company more stressful for everyone.

Handling Elma’s Complaints

Elma tries to make the workplace better.

Every time, Mr. Magatsuchi finds some way, using clever words or logic, to turn down her ideas, never changing his polite tone.

Using Future Sight

To fund his magical research, he uses his future sight to copy best-selling books from alternate worlds and publish them before the real authors do.

When called out for this, he just laughs it off, saying it’s not breaking any rules.

Helping Solve Big Conflicts

He sometimes brings peace between humans and dragons.

For example, after a major conflict involving Azard and Kimun Kamui, he helps end the fighting and even gives new roles to those involved.

Family Interactions

Although he leaves Lucoa and Shouta's relationship alone for the most part, believing it will teach Shouta important lessons, he also rewards his son for his achievements with toys or gifts.

Magic and Wizard Society Connections

He knows many important people, including powerful dragons like Damocles and Azard.

He helps keep the peace and balance between worlds, sometimes using his special powers to do so.

Mystery Surrounding His Name

Many characters call him "Magatsuchi," but there are hints that this may not be his real name.

Lucoa once called him "Simon," which some think might have a special meaning.

Anime Differences

In the anime, Mr. Magatsuchi appears more often, sometimes even before his full introduction in the manga.

His expressions are more intense in certain scenes, especially when he rejects Elma’s ideas.

His office is shown as a room filled with books and a painting of a green dragon flying over a lake.

• Mr. Magatsuchi’s real first name is not revealed as of the latest chapters.
• There are many hints that he is much older than he appears and may have lived for thousands of years.
• He is almost never shown interacting directly with his son Shouta in the main stories, but they have conversations in spin-off chapters.
• Sometimes, Lucoa calls him "that person," and he always adds honorifics when addressing dragons.
• His name "Simon" may come from a magician named Simon in the New Testament, who tried to buy holy powers for money—a possible joke because Mr. Magatsuchi gives Lucoa money.

"Humans live to stack up results so they can accept death as the final result."

If Mr. Magatsuchi's real name is Simon, it might be a reference to a magician in the Bible who tried to buy holy powers.

Also, in the story, giving Lucoa money might raise your "virtue" because she is a former god.

Even though he is Shouta’s father, there are very few scenes where the two talk directly in the main story.

In the anime, after the second season, his look changed slightly, like his hair color got darker and his face looked thinner.

His son even mentions he is getting more gray hair lately.

Although he trusts Lucoa a lot, once she accidentally caused a zombie panic and even turned his wife into a zombie for a while.

Luckily, everything went back to normal, and Mr. Magatsuchi did not hold a grudge.

According to the author, the company president, Haru Jigokumeguri, from another manga, met Mr. Magatsuchi through her father.
