Nandaba, Kamon

ナンダバ・カモン

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

Spoiler

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.
