Kamon Nandaba

Kamon Nandaba, 47, is Naota's father, a former pop culture journalist working as a freelance writer, with his own trashy tabloid: "Kamon-Mabase" (the title is a pun on "come-on mabase"). He makes the most references to pop culture: EVA, "Monkey-sensei" (referring to the creator of the series Lupin III), Hamtaro, Mobile Suit Gundam, and MTV to name a few. Kamon has taken a liking to Haruko, but she only wants to use him as an N.O. Portal.

Like the other adults in FLCL, Kamon is extremely immature, normally more so than the other adults, but he shows a surprising amount of seriousness and thoughtfulness at some points in the anime.
