Mizuho's father; No image of him has ever been seen in the series. The 2009 Mars expedition ship he was a crewmember
of was presumed lost in space. However, a GF vessel rescued the crew. The implication, never verified, was that he was not
allowed to return to Earth. One of the crew of the GF spacecraft that rescued the Mars expedition was Hatsuho, which is how
they came to meet and be married. Unable (or unwilling) to return to Earth (possibly due to the Federation's strict laws governing
contact with non-incorporated races) he remained in Federation space and raised a family there. The assumption is that he
had attained citizenship, either through marriage or through naturalization, and at that point may have been abjured from
returning. Eventually, he went on to develop a planetary contact program for Earth for the Galactic Federation. He died when
Mizuho was still a child. The only thing of Earth that he had left behind had been an empty box of Pochy, which Mizuho had
treasured.
