=== Rena's father ===
=== Yasunori Ryuuguu ===
'''Rena's father''' or '''Mr. Ryuuguu''' is a middle-aged man and [[Rena Ryuuguu]]'s biological father. He was once married to [[Rena's mother]] after their meeting in [[Okinomiya]]. However, Rena's mother's flourishing career caused a rift to grow between the two. The family moved to [[Wikipedia:Ibaraki Prefecture|Ibaraki]] for Rena's mother's job, forcing Rena's father to give up his own job and largely became a homemaker, though he wasn't very good at it. After Rena's mother revealed her infidelity, Rena's father fell into depression. After the divorce, Rena's father received a large sum of money as part of the divorce settlement, though he rarely spent any of it. His newfound wealth made him a target for con artists, specifically [[Teppei Houjou]] and [[Rina Mamiya]]. In {{tsumihoroboshi}}, the two attempt to blackmail Rena's father via a [[Wikipedia:Badger game|badger game]], though Rena kills Rina before the two can finish their plan. In {{minagoroshi}}, Teppei and Rina again attempt to blackmail Rena's father, however Rena talks to her father about the family's affairs and inspires him to find a job, avoiding the situation altogether.
