Kyouichi Mejiro

Kyouichi Mejiro was the father of Kyouko Mejiro and was in a secret relationship with Kiku Hoshimi until she turned him into a vampire. Under the impression he was dreaming, Meijiro sucked a lethal amount of his wife's blood and attempted to drain his daughter as well, but she disintegrated him in self-defense.

Appearance
Kyouichi was a middle-aged man of average build with short, dark-colored hair and a stubble beard. He wore a pair of round glasses which would later get passed down to his daughter. His outfit consisted of standard office worker attire: Dark-colored pants with a belt, a suit, and a white shirt with a striped necktie.

Personality
Kyouichi typically had a calm demeanor and was a loving father. But as time went on, he started to neglect his family, frequently fought with his wife, and often didn't come home so he could see his mistress. While denying it at first, he later confessed his affair and showed major remorse for how he treated his family.

Nazuna theorized that he only did that after getting dumped by Kiku Hoshimi. However, Kou later confirms that Kyouichi genuinely wanted to start over. He wasn't aware that he had become a vampire and hit Kyouko out of reflex after the lighter she put in his hands caused him significant pain. After that, he completely lost touch with reality, believing he was in a dream. Consequently, he had no reason to hold back his vampiric urges, killed his wife by draining her of her blood, and assaulted his daughter, forcing her to kill him in self-defense.

Anko Uguisu/Kyouko Mejiro
Kyouichi held Kyouko dear and raised her with love and affection. Despite that, he eventually started to make her miserable through the constant arguing with his wife and his fake smiles. He also became less caring, not being concerned when his teenage daughter slept outside their home without her parent's permission, and later mentioned that Kyouko hadn't received a gift in years.

Still, he loved his daughter dearly. She previously gifted him a lighter for his birthday, which made him very happy, and he grew very attached to it. He didn't use the lighter for a long time because he was afraid of dropping and losing it. That love later ended up being his undoing, as that same lighter eventually killed him.

Abilities
Vampiric abilities: After turning into a vampire, Kyouichi was immortal, could levitate and phase through objects, possessed superhuman speed, durability, and strength, as well as the ability to regenerate wounds much faster and better than humans. However, he never got to make use of those before he got killed.
