Gorou Aizawa (相沢 五郎, Aizawa Gorō?) is the husband of Akemi Aizawa and the father of Tomo Aizawa who runs the Aizawa Dojo.
Appearance[]
Gorou is a physically fit man, having trained in karate since his youth. He has some facial hair, more so on his chin. He is mostly seen just wearing his karate gi.
During his youth, his head was shaved, although he was still in peak physical condition.
Personality[]
Gorou isn't one to share affection, although he is still not immune to the charm of his wife. Gorou shows signs of being an extreme tsundere also, feeling love for his wife (and daughter) but denying that he feels the same. Gorou appears to have mild anger management issues as shown when he gets angry at Tomo Aizawa at the possibility of her losing a fight against Junichirou Kubota, her childhood friend.
Background[]
During his youth, Gorou was the delinquent of his school, and the only one who could reign him in was Akemi. Misaki Gundou used to tease him about his affection towards Akemi.
Relationships[]
Family[]
Akemi Aizawa[]
When Gorou was the school delinquent, Akemi's job was to reign him in, he always gets embarrassed and faints when he sees her face, so he is instantly powerless. They are married and together have a daughter named Tomo. He doesn't come to the house to see Akemi much, instead preferring to do everything in the dojo because he still faints when he sees her face. Gorou rushed to her during a small earthquake, only to be embarrassed again.
Tomo Aizawa[]
Tomo is Gorou's daughter whom he trains in karate and tells her that it doesn't matter if she's a girl or not; she shouldn't lose to anyone. He was very disappointed that she quit the dojo to train at school.
Others[]
Junichirou Kubota[]
Misuzu Gundou[]
Much like Junichirou Kubota and Misuzu Gundou, Gorou does not like Misaki.
Etymology[]
- The name Gorou (五郎) is a Japanese given name derived from 五 (go) meaning "five" and 郎 (rou) meaning "son", together meaning "fifth son", possibly hinting that Gorou has four older brothers.
- Gorou's surname Aizawa (相沢) is a common Japanese surname meaning "phase, aspect, countenance, mutually, fellow" (相) (ai) and "swamp, marsh" (沢) (sawa/zawa).
Trivia[]
- Gorou has trained both Tomo Aizawa and Junichirou Kubota in karate at the Aizawa Dojo.
- Gorou is the reason why Tomo cannot show her feminine side.
