Kamon Nandaba

Kamon Nandaba is Naota039s father a former pop culture journalist working as a freelance writer with his own trashy tabloid: quotKamonMabasequot the title is a pun on quotcomeon mabasequot. He makes the most references to pop culture: EVA quotMonkeysenseiquot referring to the creator of the series Lupin III Hamtaro Mobile Suit Gundam and MTV to name a few. Kamon has taken a liking to Haruko but she only wants to use him as an N.O. Portal. In the fourth episode Naota discovers that Haruko tried to use him but quothis head didn039t workquot and that she had left a robot replacement to putter around the house. The real Kamon is found dead in a cabinet but is brought back to life by being hydrated in a small bathtub. Haruko039s true intentions of coming to Mabase are revealed through her interactions with Kamon. After realizing that his head didn039t open the N.O. portal she discards him and returns to using Naota saying quotyou039re the only one who worksquot. 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
