Keisuke Suga

A middle-aged man who manages K&A Planning Co., Ltd. and makes a living by contributing articles to magazines like "Mu." He saved Hodaka from falling off a ship and treated him to a meal and beer in the ship's cafeteria. Later, Hodaka, who visited him using the business card given upon disembarkation, was hired as an assistant. He decided to use the "Weather Maiden" service to meet his daughter (Moka), who is being cared for by his mother-in-law (Mrs. Mamiya) and is difficult to see.

### Characteristics/Personality

In his teens, he ran away from a rural area to Tokyo and eventually married Asuka Mamiya, whom he met there in a whirlwind romance. Even after Asuka's passing, his love for her remains strong, and he dotes on their daughter Moka. Despite writing articles for occult magazines, he is a realist who denies superstitions, assuming his readers also do not believe the content.

He only gave Hodaka a monthly salary of 3,000 yen but covered rent, food expenses, and phone bills. When advising Hodaka to return home, he provided 50,000 yen to cover travel expenses, severance pay, and as a parting gift.

At the abandoned building in Yoyogi, he initially tried to persuade Hodaka to go back to the police but was not successful. Moved by Hodaka’s sincere desire to see Hina, he showed intense anger at the police officer who mistreated Hodaka and shoved him.

Two and a half years after the incident, he is thought to have achieved success as a writer and editor, establishing a more refined and elegant office than the previous one set up in a remodeled snack bar.

He is called "Mr. Suga" by Hodaka and Hina, "Kei-chan" by Natsumi, "Keisuke-san" by Mrs. Mamiya, and "Papa" by Moka.

### Early Production Settings

In the early stages of planning, he was set as a freelance writer and weather AI researcher.
