| Kenji Tsukino |
Kenji Tsukino was Usagi Tsukino's father in present-day Tokyo. He was not aware of his daughter's Senshi activities, nor did he know that his "niece" who appeared in the Sailor Moon R season was in fact his granddaughter.
Kenji was portrayed in a very typical fatherly manner: he worked as a magazine editor and could not cook, but tried to help out by occasionally doing grocery shopping for his wife. He was very kind and a little over-protective; for example, when he found out Usagi had begun dating in Sailor Moon R/the Black Moon Clan arc, he feared that his daughter had become a delinquent. Usagi considered her perfect man to have the same attitude and character as her dad.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
Save for some mention by other characters, Kenji was almost completely absent throughout the live-action series. He only appeared in the Special Act to attend Usagi's wedding.
Trivia
- Kenji is named after the real-life father of Naoko Takeuchi.
