Kunihito Okinaga

Kunihito (Okinaga Kunihito, 翁長邦仁) is an older man, Zenya's father and an antagonist in sweet pool.

Previously the leader of the Okinaga Family, a powerful yakuza gang, his mental and physical health has demoted him from his position into nothing more than a laughing stock to his previous followers.

He dedicates a majority of his time to worship in his cellar and rarely comes upstairs for anything, even food or sleep. He only has one remaining follower who is loyal to him - Kitani Kouhei, whom views him as a sort of father figure.

Personality
Kunihito is skittish, fearful and a fanatic of a religion nobody seems to understand but himself. Whether it's all in his head or something bigger than him and everyone else remains to be seen by the player.

Once considered influential and powerful, he initially was looked up to and loved by all. Stern, strict, and to the point, he was the perfect leader that everyone wanted and needed. After a variety of complications- first physical illness and injury, then mental illness and injury, he lost it all and become borderline reclusive, rarely interacting with even his son and underling.

Relationships
Zenya Okinaga - Kunihito's only son. His mother died when Zenya was still very young and has raised him with Kitani's help from the very beginning. Their relationship is very strained- Zenya feels obvious resentment towards his father for his behavior and actions and is not ashamed to remind him day-in day-out that what he's done will not be forgiven nor forgotten. Despite all this, Kunihito prays unrelenting for his god's forgiveness regarding Zenya's rash behavior and harsh words.

Kitani Kouhei - Kunihito's only remaining follower. He took the younger man in when Kitani was barely fifteen, after the youth had a close call and nearly got himself killed in a fight. While the relationship has been strictly business related, Kunihito, to a certain degree, does consider him family and allows him to stay with them in their home.
