If you're just following your mother's footsteps, I don't recommend it. Your distorted devotion will lead you to your destruction, Itsuki-chan. It's almost like a curse.

― Mudou warning his youngest quintuplet daughter about her decision-making affecting her future

Appearance[]

Mudou appears to be an old man; lacking hair on his head and his grown out, white-colored beard being his most apparent feature.

Personality[]

As the newfound father of the quintuplets, much of Mudou's identity has yet to be revealed, but he seems to have ever regretted his decision of leaving his daughters too many hardships. Stating that he wants to "atone" for his sins.

He holds some animosity towards Maruo Nakano because of allowing his quintuplet daughters to follow the same misguided path as did his late wife Rena Nakano.

Despite his apology and attempted rekindling of his daughters, his true nature become more revealing due his unreasonable animosity towards Rena and even told Itsuki that she shouldn’t follow her path nor have anything to do with her. His apologetical pursuit became more persistent after he eventually slammed his own head onto the floor causing it to bleed heavily though to no avail by Itsuki though she did show guilt for it. Mudou eventually snarled at Maruo and the quintuplets after they disowned him, causing him to walk off into the school festival, never to be seen or heard from again.
