Tsukihiko

Tsukihiko (ツキヒコ Tsukihiko) was the husband of Azami, father of Shion and grandfather of Marry.

Appearance

 * Tsukihiko had white hair that parts in the middle and ends below his ears. His outfit consists of a white undershirt with a high collar, a larger pale overshirt with wide sleeves that end below his elbows, blue shorts, and sandals. He had bandages wrapped around both of his arms and knees. In the anime, he wears a different outer garmet that has blue trim, a blue pair of pants and black shoes.

Personality

 * Tsukihiko is the human who became Azami's husband. Despite being considered as an outcast by his village because of his appearance, he is kind to Azami, whom he finds in an isolated part of a forest. He was a very determined person, staying with Azami even when she ignored him or told him to go away and fulfilling her command to make her a home while expecting nothing in return. He admits that he was just happy at the thought of doing something useful for someone as beautiful as her. His selflessness and dedication towards her is what makes him become the first human that Azami ever trusts and falls in love with.

History

 * Tsukihiko was born into a small village on the land side. His parents passed away when he was a child, but as they left a large piece of land behind, Tsukihiko never had any financial difficulties. Since he was born, he had always been light-haired and light-eyed, and was considered a "monster" by the other villagers, therefore he found it difficult to get along with them and was often bullied by those who felt threatened by his appearance. Being born into a time of war, Tsukihiko had to serve the army upon coming of age but was eventually told that he was useless and sent back home.


 * At the day of his return back to his home village, he met the Medusa Azami. [...]


 * Tsukihiko was captured and beaten by villagers when he came to the village to get supplies for building Azami's house, which he said happens often because of his odd appearance. Azami decided that they would isolate themselves from humans and suggested that Tsukihiko should live in the new house with her, whereupon he proposed to her, with Azami accepting the proposal.


 * Before long, their daughter Shion was born and the three lived peacefully. As time passes, Azami went away to create a never-ending world, also known as the Kagerou Daze, for her family. In the Music Route, too much time passed and Tsukihiko died before the world was completed. In the Anime Route and Manga Route 2, he goes back to his village to get Azami a wedding dress so that they can get officially married before entering the Kagerou Daze, but villagers attack her and Shion at their house while he is gone. In the Anime Route, Azami finds that Tsukihiko's fellow villagers had detained and tortured him to try to find her location, and she enters the Kagerou Daze by herself to spare her family from more of the suffering that follows her.
