Hirohiko Sakurada (櫻田 広彦, Sakurada Hirohiko) is the father of Mikako and Miwako by Ruriko.

Considering the conduct he demonstrates with his daughter and the sometimes erratic hours photographers like him are required to keep, Hirohiko's divorce from Ruriko when Mikako was young was probably caused by both Hirohiko and Ruriko growing apart because they failed to do the work necessary to maintain their marriage.

Fortunately for Mikako, Hirohiko comes back onto the scene and does the work alongside Ruriko necessary for the two eventually reconcile and remarry.

Hirohiko is also crucial force for Tsutomu deciding what to do with his life.
