Duffi

親方

Mr. Duffi serves as the mine boss and is a highly respected leader within the town. While he is Pazu's employer, Mr. Duffi also looks out for the orphaned boy, just as his wife Okami does. When Pazu befriends Sheeta, Mr. Duffi extends his protection to her as well, standing up to the air pirates on her behalf.
Mr. Duffi is justifiably proud of his immense strength. During a confrontation with the pirates, he and Louis compete to determine who is stronger. Louis flexes his chest and arm muscles until his shirt tears to shreds. However, Mr. Duffi proves even stronger than Louis; when he flexes, he appears larger and rips his shirt even more severely.
