Kurando Tani

Kurando Tani is Chiaki's father, he was supposed to teach Chiaki the ways of bushido but instead saw life in the best possible light. In reality, his way of life was meant to inspire Chiaki to become a samurai on his own, rather than be conditioned into the role. Because Chiaki's mother died when he was young, he wanted Chiaki to be a happy child. He appears in Episode 21 when Mako and Chiaki are in the same restaurant and it becomes a hostage situation related to the Kuroko.
