Giroro and Garuru's Father (ギロロとガルルの父 Giroro to garuru no chichi) is a character in Keroro Gunso. He is the father of Giroro and Garuru.
Character
Giroro's father was a Keron Army soldier and at one point a notable corporal (as mentioned in Episode 289). In his anime appearances, he's always completely silent never getting a single line. In spite of that, it's shown Giroro respects him greatly, and maybe even fears him.
According to Mine Yoshizaki's concept art, he has a frightening glare and voice, in spite of talking in polite formal tone. However, most of the time he remains in silence, which can lead to uncomfortable situations due to his glare. It's also noted that he never raised his hand against his children, his eyes and voice were enough to discipline them. It's also mentioned that he takes care of a vegetable garden in their home.
In the anime, he is usually seen with Keroro's Father. The pair often spends time together out drinking or visiting hot springs. They might have been good friends for a long time. During a certain Christmas Eve, they assisted Santa Claus in delivering gifts after meeting him in a hotsprings trip.
In the manga, however, it seems unlikely that Giroro and Keroro's fathers are close. Giroro only has heard about Keroro's father, and doesn't know him personally. Meanwhile, Keroro's first meeting with Giroro was due to rumors about a frightening child walking around the neighborhood rather than anything suggesting any connection between their families.[1]
Appearance
His appearance is very close to Giroro's, but he has a darker red color. His eye shape is similar to Garuru's, but with bright red eyes. He also has thick and long eyebrows as well as a long mustache that covers the division between white and red areas of his face. He wears a light green haramaki around his waist and a light-red bandana with a black skull symbol on his head, lacking a symbol on his belly similarly to his sons.
In one of the scenes of the promotional movie shown in episode 289A, he sports a look closer to his sons, wearing a double belt across his chest rather than the haramaki.
