Hot Dad: Difference between revisions

The '''Hot Dad''', a male parental figure that caters to the ''female'' (or [[Fan Yay|gay male]]) demographic's wants and desires.

 

 

Sometimes abbreviated as a DILF, short for "Daddy I'd Like (to) Fuck."

In the case where the Hot Dad is actively pursued by women half his age in-universe, he can become the series ''[[Stacy's Mom]]''. Contrast [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]].

 

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Naruto]]'', there's Minato Namikaze, {{spoiler|the main character's father}}. Note that {{spoiler|Minato died only a few hours after Naruto's birth}} so he may only be in his early 20s.

** {{spoiler|Also Tomoya becomes a Hot Dad, as well. And fits more in the model, at least after episode 18 of ''After Story''}}

* Deathscythe aka Spirit Albarn, Maka Albarn's father in ''[[Soul Eater]]'' is the greatest Weapon/Warrior of Death City on top of being a handsome, kind-hearted and devoted father. His '''only''' flaw is, unfortunately, that he is [[Lovable Sex Maniac|a cheating loser whose unfaithful behavior cost him his marriage and his daughter's respect]].

* The Miyazawa family's father, Takashi, in ''[[Kare Kano]]''. Also, Tsubasa Shibahime's father; he's so handsome that Yukino lampshades the trope by going googly-eyed when she meets him.

** Also, {{spoiler|Souichiro Arima himself at the end of the series.}}

** He is also a menace to society [[Drives Like Crazy|when he is driving]].

* Konoka's father Eishun (a Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese Kung Fu style "Wing Chun") in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', who is a wise Martial-Arts Master AND Grand Sorcerer, is a slightly older example.

** And for that matter, Nagi Springfield from the same franchise is one of the few examples of this trope who has no daughters (Nekane is genetically Negi's ''cousin'', not big sister proper). In-story, he even has legions of [[Fan Girl|fangirls]], although most of them are unaware that he's a dad.

** Negima seems to be in love with this trope lately, as [[Genki Girl]] Yuuna Akashi's father was revealed to be a Hot Dad during her [[Day in The Limelight]] chapter. Apparently, he's so hot his ''own daughter'' seems just a little too... [[Parental Incest|attached]] to him.

* Ginji Kawai, Sasami's dad in the ''[[Pretty Sammy]]'' series, who apparently can do ''anything'', including going out in space as an astronaut.

* Not shoujo, but close enough, Shiro Takamachi of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' is an ex-assassin/bodyguard now bakery owner.

* ''[[Akkan Baby]]'' had the seafaring, long-haired, nice and roguishly handsome dad of the male lead. The "hot" part of the trope was averted with the father of the female lead who was chubby and somewhat cowardly, though also very nice and he, at least, didn't tend to [[Parental Abandonment]].

* While he's not actually Rosette's father (merely her legal guardian), Father Remington of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' could quite possibly fit this trope. ''Rosette herself'' even has a crush on him! ([[Sexy Priest|Can you blame her, tho?]])

* Yucie's father in ''[[Petite Princess Yucie]]'' isn't particularly "hot" (maybe if he ditched the facial hair...), but his nurturing personality fits the trope.

* He's a father figure rather than an actual father, but Dr. Wakaouji in ''[[Full Moon o Sagashite]]'' seems to fit this trope regardless. He's attractive, kind, loving, and amazingly understanding; has a lucrative job as a doctor; ''and'', as an added bonus, is a retired rock star. He's single for most of the series, too (although he eventually gets together with resident [[Christmas Cake]] Ooshige).

** General Cross could fit here too, seeing how he "raised" Allen for five years.

* Although the show is definitely shounen, Max Jenius in [[Macross 7]] is just as hot in his fifties as he was in teens—except that he's got even [[Cool Shades|cooler shades]] and Hajime Saito-style [[Ahoge]]. Let's just forget that he's also [[Cool Old Guy]], [[The Ace]] and, quite obviously, the [[Canon Sue]].

* Mr. Koiwai from ''[[Yotsubato]]''.

* ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' seemed to be trying for this with Nina's adoptive father Sergey.

** There's also [[media:Ryuuken122-2.jpg|Dr. Ishida Ryuuken]], who looks more like Uryuu's older brother than his father. And as it turns out, he's not just [[Dr. Jerk]], {{spoiler|he's actually more powerful than his son, he just can't be bothered to use his powers; and he's known Isshin and his secret for a long time.}} [[media:Ryuken color.jpg|Oh yeah.]]

* Akane Tendo's dad Soun from [[Ranma ½]] is tall, dark and handsome. He's generally a good guy too despite being very emotional and friends with [[Jerkass|Genma]].

 

 

* [[Batman]] currently has ''six'' kids running around the DCnU: his biological son, three adopted sons, one adopted daughter, and one biological daughter from a parallel universe.

* Arguably, Magnus aka Magneto from the [[X-Men]].

** [[Standardized Leader|Cyclops']] father [[Lovable Rogue|Corsair]] and [[Nineties Anti-Hero|son]] [[Cable]] (who is also a father, as well as a [[Papa Wolf|father figure]] in recent arcs) have significant followings of their own. Cyke himself is a bit more of a [[Base Breaker]], though out of the three men [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|fits the physical type best.]]

* In ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' and ''[[Green Arrow]]'', Roy Harper definitely qualifies.

 

* In Marisha Pessl's ''[[Special Topics in Calamity Physics]]'', Blue Van Meer's father Gareth is one of these. Constantly moving around, he seduces a string of attractive women and discards them when he tires of them. Blue eventually comes to realize what a [[Jerkass]] he is.

* Mentioned in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''Father Time''. The Eighth Doctor appears to be around forty and is such a [[Mr. Fanservice]] that the actor who played him actually has his own Estrogen Brigade. Miranda, his [[Children Raise You|adopted daughter]], has a best friend and classmate who, at only fifteen, [[squick]]s said daughter by saying he's "gorgeous" and "hunky" and inquiring as to whether he "go[es] in for the schoolgirl type," and generally displays an excessive interest in his ([[Chaste Hero|almost nonexistent]]) love life.

** Some consider Eddard "Ned" Stark as one too. He's played by [[Sean Bean]] in the live-action, so...

** {{spoiler|Jaime Lannister}} is one too, as {{spoiler|the incestuous lover of his sister Cersei and the father of her three kids.}}

 

== Live-Action TV ==

** Alan Jackson, Maria's father, on ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. He cooks, cleans, works out, skateboards, and fends off his ex-wife. All the while managing to remain oblivious to all the oddness in his daughter's life since they moved the house opposite a former ''[[Doctor Who]]'' companion. {{spoiler|That is until Maria gets abducted by aliens who use [[Ret-Gone]], because he had a doohickey in his possession that made him immune he remembers her and goes [[Papa Wolf]] on said aliens.}} His {{spoiler|replacement character}} Haresh is pretty hot as well.

** In ''[[Torchwood]]'', {{spoiler|Jack Harkness}} has at least one daughter. She's naturally starting to {{spoiler|look older than he does}}, and although they care a lot about each other, she doesn't want him to freak out her own child. This being ''Torchwood'', [[It Gets Worse]].

* Burt from [[Raising Hope]]. And he's a grandfather, too!

* Dr. Mohinder Suresh in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' fits into this trope in the second season, after he and Matt Parkman take Molly under their wings.

* <s>[[Firefly|Captain Reynolds]]</s> Rick Castle from ''[[Castle]]''.

* Peyton's Dad in ''[[One Tree Hill]]''. Brooke once referred to him as "a total DILF".

* [[Mad Men|Don Draper]] certainly counts.

* Aaron Hotchner of ''[[Criminal Minds]]''. [[The Stoic|Stoic]] [[Badass]] who will make your life hell for touching his [[True Companions|team]], never mind his ''actual'' son. [[Despair Event Horizon|God help]] anyone (especially the Reaper) who goes after Jack.

* Robby Ray Stewart from ''[[Hannah Montana]]''.

* Mark Sloan from ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]''.

* Jim from ''[[The Office]]''.

* George from ''[[Suburgatory]]''.

* Julius from ''[[Everybody Hates Chris]]''.

* Frank from ''[[Step by Step]]''.

* Mike Brady from ''[[The Brady Bunch]]''.

* Mr. Sheffield from ''[[The Nanny]]''

 

 

== Video Games ==

** L'Arachel's uncle [[Parental Substitute|and caretaker]], [http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Mansel Pontifex Mansel], counts too.

** And [http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Vigarde Emperor Vigarde aka Lyon's dad]. {{spoiler|Too bad he [[Came Back Wrong]].}}

* Laguna Loire from ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''. My god, [http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/12/500x_laguna.jpg look at him], you'd think he was still a teenager {{spoiler|instead of old enough to be Squall's father}}.

* {{spoiler|Kratos Aurion, Lloyd's father}} from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''. Subverted that despite being a rather powerful warrior, he shows 'kindness' and 'loving' by other means than usual shoujo dads. It also helps that {{spoiler|the special Cruxis technology in his body stops his biological clock, so he's technically been twenty-eight for about 4,000 years at this point.}}

* Norman and Byron in ''[[Pokémon]]''. Some may consider Koga one of these as well.

** How can you not mention Palmer? He seems to be this mixed with [[Memetic Sex God]].

*** Actually, Cecil [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Ursula_Fang_Leiden isn't the only main character] with a child. She's a playable character even.

* In ''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]]'', it turns out that, much to everyone's surprise, the self-titled Dark Adonis Vyers has a teenaged son: {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Laharl]]}}.

* Carth Onasi from ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]''. Of course, he lost his son in the Telos bombing {{spoiler|you do find the kid. He's gone Sith, and it's on you both to try and talk him out of it...if you're inclined}}.

* [[Star Fox (series)|James McCloud]], completely with [[Cool Shades]].
