An old man.
A short, elderly man, possibly in his 70's or 80's. He wears round-lensed glasses and is nearly bald except for a ring of grey hair around the base of his head and his goatee. He wears a green shirt and with shorts and sandals.
He is an elderly man and seemingly laid back. He enjoys smoking while drinking.
He is shown to be very agile and skilled in sword-like combat as well as billiards. He is very calm even when faced with the possibility of death and the Young Man's surprise attack. He misses his wife and her homemade snacks.
In the Old Man's flashbacks we get a glimpse of his life from childhood to marriage.
As a child he witnessed bombs falling over his home and remembers growing up with his mother outside of his destroyed town. Growing up with his mother could mean his father was killed by the bombs, war, or some other conflict. He became proficient at Kendo and was a bully towards other kids. In his teens, he became a Billiards champion. Later on in life he married, revealed later to be Sachiko Uemura.
He lived happily married for a long time, until becoming old, due to either a medical condition or age, he became a "vegetable" and could hardly do anything for himself.
In the end, his soul was sent to the Void.
