Kyousuke Hori

Kyousuke Hori (堀 京介) is the husband of Yuriko Hori and the wandering father of Kyouko Hori and Souta Hori who is often absent from home due to work.

Appearance
Kyousuke is a handsome man with messy shoulder-length dirty gray hair that often covers his face, golden-brown eyes (as seen from Chapter 26.5 Pg. 1 in color) and he normally puts on a tired look, although he puts on a serious face only for a joke and a big chesty laugh to follow.

At first, Izumi Miyamura noted that Kyousuke looks like Souta Hori where Izumi says that "Souta became huge".

Hori-san to Miyamura-kun (OVA)
Kyousuke has empty black eyes.

Personality
According to Kyouko Hori, Kyousuke is a rude, selfish and forceful man who jokes around on serious topics and has a knack to leave for long periods of time. He is also cheap, as when he was asked by his family to eat Beluga Caviar or Sharks's Fin Soup, he flatly denied them. He seems to be able to shift between moods quickly, as when he was sleeping before being visited by Izumi Miyamura, at the sight of him Kyousuke's tired demeanor changed to a happy one instantly.

Plot
(Empty)

Yuriko Hori
Yuriko is Kyousuke's wife whom he met in high school (Chapter 119.7) where he was two school years younger than her and he was 18 when Kyouko Hori was born.

Kyouko Hori
Kyouko is Kyousuke's daughter who acts cold towards him and she doesn't mind physically hurting her father as she performs an axe kick on him when Kyousuke tried to act cool in front of Izumi Miyamura. Later on, when Kyousuke asks Hori to prepare him some food, she comes back with a bowl of soup and purposely jams it into the back of his head. He then apologized to Miyamura for Hori's "crazy domestic violence habits".

Souta Hori
Souta is Kyousuke's son. Although their relationship isn't shown much in the manga, Souta and Kyousuke have a good relationship. They both seem to have similar personalities, both are chipper and love when Izumi Miyamura comes over. They also tend to agree on what they want to eat. Kyousuke's relationship with his son is much healthier than his relationship with Kyouko Hori.

Izumi Miyamura
When Kyousuke first met Miyamura, he intimidated him, but he soon become fond of him as Kyousuke finds Miyamura interesting and accepts him into the family quickly. He sees Miyamura as his future son-in-law and trusts that he'll take good care of Kyouko Hori, but Kyousuke tends to ask him random questions which usually pertain to Hori.

Takeru Sengoku
In Chapter 119.7, it is shown that Kyousuke, Yuriko Koyanagi and Takeru went to the same high school together.
