Kenjirou Tateyama (楯山 研次朗 Tateyama Kenjirō) / Kenjirou[7] (ケンジロウ) is the homeroom teacher of Momo, father of Ayano, and husband of Ayaka. He formerly taught Haruka and Takane in a class for physically ill students.
Presumably unbeknownst to him, Kenjirou is the host of the Snake of Clearing Eyes, which regularly possesses him to fulfill his wish to reunite with Ayaka, who is in the Kagerou Daze.
Appearance[]
- Kenjirou has brown hair, black eyes, and a stubble below his chin. He is always seen wearing black glasses, a white lab coat over his red striped shirt, dark jeans, and dark brown shoes. He also wears a pair of red clips on his shirt.
Personality[]
- Despite being a teacher, Kenjirou seems to be rather easygoing and, despite often being tired, can at times be rather animated and playful. Kenjirou cares deeply for his family, including his adopted children Tsubomi Kido, Shuuya Kano and Kousuke Seto. After losing his wife, eldest daughter, and students and being left to live alone, Kenjirou still teaches and shows concern for his students, as seen with Momo Kisaragi.
- Kenjirou has no recollection of when the Snake of Clearing Eyes possesses him and assumes that he is sleeping during these times, indicating they mostly happen at night. Ayano insists that he has no idea of Clearing Eyes' plans, as he wouldn't want his children to die to create a new Medusa that would reunite him with Ayaka.
Eye Ability[]
- Clearing Eyes (目が冴える Me ga Saeru): Kenjirou's eye ability allows the Snake of Clearing Eyes to take possession of his body once the sun starts to set so that it can work towards his wish to see his wife again. However, he is unaware of the snake's motives or what it does when possessing him. It is eventually revealed that the snake's true plan is to force Marry Kozakura to rewind the world without granting his wish.
