Doting Parent: Difference between revisions

== Anime & Manga ==

* Kurosaki Isshin from ''[[Bleach]]'' is like that about all three of his children {{spoiler|and yet lets Ichigo run off to another dimension and fight life-threatening battles without his supervision, not to mention that he lets Ichigo's shinigami partner, Rukia, move into their house. This is largely because in actuality he is a former captain-level shinigami who lost his powers and doesn't get them back until the start of the Arrancar arc, at which point he becomes a major league [[Papa Wolf]].}}

* Chiaki's father in ''[[Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne]]'' marries woman after woman because his son "needs a mother" but (reluctantly) lets Chiaki live on his own and is very fond of Chiaki's girlfriend, Maron.

* Tamaki's father Yuzuru in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', who gets sad when Tamaki won't spend enough time with him.

* Maes Hughes in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' is the epitome of a doting papa, as well as an [[Overprotective Dad]].

* Daisuke's mother in ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' is a great example of this. She's a genuinely loving mother that wants the best for her son—both in typical young teen problems and his activities as a [[Phantom Thief]]. Sometimes she's a little ''too'' eager to help, to the point where she (and her husband and father) once followed her son on a school trip to make sure an thieving attempt turns out alright.

* Sachiko Yagami of ''[[Death Note]]'', which makes [[Break the Cutie|her situation at the end]] [[The Woobie|all the more heartbreaking.]]

* The ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] Comics A la Carte'' official anthology book has the one-shot comic "[[Has Two Mommies|2nd Mother's Day]]", which portrayed Fate as this.

'''Nanoha''': Fate-chan, you're disturbing the neighbors. }}

* Mrs. Katsura of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', as Hinagiku's foster mother, is often seen acting this way. She's probably the first one who adopted Hayate into their family, despite Hinagiku just being a leading member of Hayate's [[Unwanted Harem|unnoticed harem]], and actually tells him to resist her attacks when she's probably the only young woman who hasn't taken any action towards him.

 

== Western Animation ==

* Dr. Doofenshmirtz of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' has a bit of this towards his teenage [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|daughter Vanessa]], such as when he throws her an embarrassingly-childish birthday party and invites all her friends. She found this annoying in early episodes, but more recently their relationship has become warmer. The turning point was when he presented her with a doll she'd said she wanted when she was seven, and reveals he spent the last ''ten years'' scouring garage sales and the internet looking for it.

* [[Kim Possible]] has Mr. and Mrs. Drs. P, Kim's loving parents who encourage their children with the family creed of "Anything's possible for a Possible."
